Ledge Acres 1960-73

Our sprawling 1865 farmhouse on 25 acres was my childhood paradise

When I first started working on my memoirs, I used voice memos extensively because I could do them while walking in the morning with my dogs. The following memories were unearthed in this manner, basically a sentence or two at a time, mostly while walking along the Gihon river in the mornings. I’ve had so much fun using open AI’s DALL-E Image Playground to create these illustrations. Sometimes it takes a few attempts, refining the prompts to get them, right. But what I love about these images is their magical ability to resurrect in my heart and imagination some of my fondest and persistent memories.
