I’m not much for believing in ‘signs’, all the same look what nature ‘crafted’ for me this past Tuesday. I had been waiting for these bulbs to burst open for what seemed like weeks, and they chose June 21st to make their appearance. The anniversary of my birth. I find their  beauty simply intoxicating.

I did turn 43 on Tuesday. And with some luck (& a pile of support from family and friends) I’ll be a ‘Dr.’ by this time next summer as I turn 44. So, here’s to this next twelve month trip around the sun – it’s gonna be a big one!
