A sort of change of pace.   I wonder what accounts for the weary sadness of her face.  How I wish
I could know her story!!  My niece challenged me to write a story for her in poem.  I did so, and I'll be posting it soon on my poetry blog.  If you're interested, watch for it.  I gave her a name for purposes of the poem, so the title is "Lydia".
