Although I see signs of spring everywhere, it wasn’t official until we received a text from The Grass King that the reality of the earth’s orbit set in. He’s monitoring the ground temperature and will let us know when it’s the perfect time to seed and fertilize. Like all of the plants, we yearn for some time in the sun.
For her birthday six years ago I gave her a paint bucket containing 60 slips of paper: 60 things I love about her. There were – and are – many more than 60 things so I had to edit. A few years after the bucket, among other things, I gave her a piano tuning. She has yet to cash in the tuning but I have hope that this is the year. True confession: my gift of tuning was selfish since I love to hear her play. Broken wrists et. al. has made those opportunities few and far between but I see signs…This truly may be the year.
Today she completes another lap around the sun. It’s her birthday. Dogga and I will spoil her to the degree that she allows (she generally resists being coddled). The day promises to be beautiful so we will take a nice walk. Perhaps a small adventure will beckon. 20 will come for dinner so there will be abundant food and laughter. Our celebrations are mostly low key – rather than fill them with events we tend to clear the space and follow our hearts.
13 years ago I followed my heart and stepped off an airplane to meet in-person this woman named Kerri. I’m so glad I did. Now, I could fill hundreds of paint buckets with slips of paper telling her of the many, many things I love about her.

[…] read DAVID’s thoughts this D.R. THURSDAY […]
“20” again. Reminds me of that one show years ago (comedy) wherein the neighbor would be on the other side of the fence, and all you could see was the top half of his face. Very intriguing.
Anyhow – treat Kerri well this time, ok dude? Happy trails, kaplah, and fine dining to the both of you!

Always. She deserves the best of all things – and we had a great day. 20 said to tell you…uh…oh…wait…I forgot. No worries. It’ll come back to me;-)
“It’ll come back to me” my ass. sigh… It is going to be a great day…perspective. Tell 20 I said – oops – forgot.
