My all-call for pumpkin recipes and Fall customs rang true to many of you. Have you seen the lovely pumpkins Catrina painted? Or the beautiful topiaries Autum created for her dreamy porch? (Yes, I guess I’m officially old. I just called a porch dreamy.) Everyone...

New mother, with her still developing photo on the pillow. She is 26 and this is her fourth baby. The knitted cap came from a knitting guild in Phoenix. The Polaroid Project started after my first trip to Nicaragua in 2002 when I visited a maternity ward that left...
