Being home so much changed the way I think of home. One year ago, Aaron and I bought a house, but we didn’t have time to make it the home we knew it could be. Now it is. This is our back yard. Aaron loves to garden. Honestly, I’ve never taken much of an interest in having my hands in piles of manure and peat moss, but this spring and summer felt different. In the midst of the corona virus, I needed my hands in a good metaphor and a garden is a good, if obvious metaphor for all the good that can come out of the dung. I also love this photo because Aoife is guarding our home from city squirrels and wandering neighbors. Anyway, this is my home as the sun is setting. It’s just as lovely in the morning. #journeytonku2020
