  “Shh. Come. Lie down with us.” With the baby in the crook of her elbow, she moved over and made room for him. He stretched out on top of the quilt and rolled to his side, folding an elbow beneath his ear and stretching a protective arm across the baby to Linnea’s hip.

  Outside, somewhere on the prairie, the horses ran free. And Russian thistles rolled before the wind. And upon the derrick of a windmill the dry, tan husks of last summer’s morning glories still clung while the blades rapped softly above. But inside, a man and wife lay close, watching their son sleep, thinking of their tomorrows and the blessings to be reaped, the life to be lived to its fullest... the minutes, the days, the years.
