The security team can’t even be bothered to leave their beds anymore when I burst through the front door late in the evening.

Took me a minute but I’m still chuckling at that image. Happy birthday and wishes for many more sunrises and sunsets, first bluebird joy and all the wonder of the unfolding world.

Sending you the first white and yellow daffodils for your birthday and a high five for getting the manuscript edits submitted. Tremendous!

Happy birthday, and congrats on moving the book along!

And I laughed out loud at a couple of these--3/25 in particular, given yesterday's impressive hailstorm here in my corner of Oregon.

Happy Birthday! Good to learn of the progress of BLS and to see your words on the page as well as hear your voice. That's some serious snow!

Happy Birthday! I just recently moved to Flagstaff, AZ—which I did not choose for its snowfall but for its supposedly beautiful outdoor access. Not to be had yet. I was trying to figure out how to send you the picture of me that was like the photo you posted but in all honestly, I had no frozen liquids on me, just under me. Haven’t found my feet under me yet. I so enjoy being part of your community.
