She then moved with her husband to her last great love the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. She remained there for over thirty years until her late husband of sixty five years, Robert passed away. This work is an invitation to join the author and the artist in their search for the meaning of life. The poetic insight of the simple flowing prose and the delicate drawings will touch the hearts of those who are weary of the negative and the materialistic. The illustrator is indeed a friend of the earth and its living things. Conservationist, gardener and artist, Mrs. Bossen brings to the reader an awareness that even weeds have beauty. Her illustrations bear the imprint of her sensitive nature and blend with the reference of the creation that is gathered within these pages.
