Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me




The past week has been a whirlwind of bubbly bliss, trembling tears, deep thoughts, apparent no-thoughts, satisfied sighs, doubts and dislikes, loud laughter, quiet moments, grand anticipations, peaceful ponderings, resilient reflections...and today I begin the second day of my fabulous forties. 

Where has the time gone? 

It's gone like a song.

That still sings on. and on. and on.

I hear it. In the sleepy babbling of my children, in the buzzing near my little garden, in the thank-yous for the food I cook, in the silly words I write, in the clatter and clamor and chaos all around me, in the I-love-yous of my man so true, in the whines of a fiddle and the twangs of a mandolin, in the voice of my mama on the phone, in the song of my deck-dwelling birds, in the laughter of my grandpa....it sings on and on and on...




Happy Day After To Me...and may I be blessed with many more.

Christmas in July

Christmas in July

Red and green balls 

Bright yellow stars

Greenery draped

across wooden bars

colorful goodies

filling glass jars

friends and family

from near and far

little red birds

on angel~wings fly

glorious colors

light up the sky

laughter of children,

blinking white lights

It's a summertime Christmas

It is JULY
