Happy Birthday!

Today was my husband's birthday and I thought and thought about stuff to get for him.

But he doesn't want stuff and he doesn't need stuff, so I made him his favorite foods and got him a bouquet of locally grown, organic sunflowers, because that flower comes up in so many of our favorite things.

It felt like a good day. It must have been a good day. We got to go to the bookstore. We saw a duck and her ducklings crossing the bookstore's parking lot. And we saw a baby dear gingerly walking toward a field on our way home. And we both look at such things as good omens of the year to come.

So, cheers, honey, and happy birthday! xxxxx
