Hi everyone,
Yesterday I read and loved every one of your comments. From start to finish it was a fine day. I’m grateful to each of you for making my celebration an occasion to long remember.
I also took a picture of a new rose blossoming in the bed outside our patio door.

And the sunset was spectacular.

And I was reminded that sometimes the things we do may have merit and make us proud of ourselves, but they can never match the accomplishments of the natural world around us, where quiet miracles happen every minute of every day. I’ve had my fun. Time to get back to work.
Nature just can’t be beat!
Seen any signs of the turtles yet? Hee hee!
None outside yet, but inside I see them hiding all over the place!
You are amazing, David. So full of energy, wisdom, poetry and good humor. Congratulations!!! You deserve that award for all of your work and devotion!!!
