birthday morning-
the children awake
singing

the youngest's gift:
bulbs
he planted himself

the eldest's gift:
beautiful running tights
like hers..

the middle child's gift:
a book on enlightenment
bought with car wash money

birthday tradition-
a packet of fudge
shared eagerly

husband's gift:
a beautiful hammock
for two..




















hidden outside-
a gift of flowers
the colours of summer

birthday morning errands-
passing a funeral car
and a learner driver
















birthday-
the rain in the next town
hasn't reached my home















birthday walk-
everywhere
dazzling bluebells




















birthday cake -
the eldest child bakes
with special ingredients..

I especially love this one:

birthday-
the rain in the next town
hasn't reached my home


It has the utmost beautiful simplicity and "sadless" poignancy.

Not only happy birthday in retrospect, but many happy unbirthdays (Alice in Wonderland) (-;
