My younger son and I are visiting the family farm for a week.  It was once Grandpa and Grandma Aldrich’s farmhouse.  Now, my retired parents live there.  It is a place that figures prominently in my fiction because most of what I know about rural farm life comes from there.  Hollyhocks and tiger lilies grow there,   Corn and soybeans grow there too.  The sky is laughing blue in sunshine.
