Michelle Rouse runs into the house when she sees me pull up. She never thinks she’s ready to be photographed. Judy never blinks or flinches at the camera. She looks right at the lens every time, almost daring me to take a photo. She is heading to the office, ready to milk some cows. Judy is going to be her own series of notecards. The first batch, “Celebrating The Family Farm,” is for sale at Redux and will soon be up for viewing on the Redux website. I am taking all of the notecards on the book tour and will be selling them to bring awareness to the plight of family farmers and to raise some money for farm aid. I’ll start October 8 at Northshire Books, Manchester, Vt., the “Rose In A Storm” book tour kickoff. I’ll be bringing them across the country as long as they last.

Makes the book tour even better.
