On May 11th, it was my birthday – forty-five trips around the sun, as they say. I’d say 45 puts me pretty firmly in middle age. I have many thoughts about my current stage of life, and since it’s my belated “birthday post” (I actually started this post more than a year ago, when I…

100 Happy Days – Day 40: Equinox Fairyland
This morning was an exceptionally beautiful morning. Last night, I came upon a blog post that made me feel sheepish. These two things combined = this post! #2 above is a post from just over four years ago, when I had come back to the blog, head hanging, after failing spectacularly to complete 100 Happy…
Spring Flowers and their Intoxicating Magic
