Happy Birthday, Bill!


It has been a long winter. Beautiful, if somewhat harsh.



It seems fitting that you should have been born on the brink of spring.



Like springtime, you bring fun


music

dance


joy

and love.


Soon it will be time to take to the woods again


to look for the riches hidden all around us.

Remember us in all your travels


and hurry home


to find what waits for you here.

    geee, he doesn't look a year older than he did yesterday!? (or is there a certain painting in your attic that is getting more wrinkled and haggard, while Bill stays forever young?)

    Lilacs and morels.

    Sensory over-load for our winter-weary souls.

    Add a soupcon of peeper chorus and we're in heaven.

    I was a November baby and have always envied those who entered the world when it, too, was birthing.

    Happy Birthday Bill.
