Rio Grande Wedding (2011)
“It was half past six in the morning, the freshest part of the day, and Molly wouldn’t think of drinking her first cup of coffee anywhere else when the weather was fine.
Above, the sky brightened with sunrise. Pure gold light, gentle and clear, seeped into the bowl of endless sky, tipping the wings of a pair of magpies swooping over the silhouette of cottonwoods that marked the eastern edge of her nearly one hundred acres.
When her husband, Tim, died four years ago, this view, morning and evenin...g, had often saved her sanity. There was, in the vast stillness, a sense of eternity that comforted her.
