The Love of Reading

I worked long hours in my landscape design business, and reading became a luxury. You have to think something is wrong in your life when you don't have time to read. We've lived in northern communities where many people were illiterate, and I came to appreciate just how lucky I am to have this basic ability.

I read every night now. I made this pencil drawing of my daughter when she was 10 years old. She's had her nose in a book since she was 6.
