Last Thursday, before it rained, Jeremy was planting soybeans up at his folks’ place. I’ve been taking this photo (and mostly adding this quote to it in some way) off and on since 2014. It’s one of those things that the timing has to be just so to get it to happen.

“No husbandman would sow one grain of corn, if he hoped not it would grow up and become seed.” — from “Watchwords for the Warfare of Life,” Dr. Martin Luther (and you can read the context, which is genius).
I thought it would be fun (at least, it would be for me) to have all the photos in one place. Henceforth and therefore:


My photo editing philosophy has changed more than I realized. There was a time in there when — remember this? — everything had to look scrapbooky. Good grief. How can I let this stuff influence me?! Swear it off, kids. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Furthermore, I skipped more years than I realized.
