This year, since the day falls between two summer trips, one to Buffalo and the next to Kilmarnock, VA, I'm spending a quiet birthday at home. Oh, I woke up to a shower of gifts from Heidi, each more thoughtful than the last, and I got that bread baked, too. Despite the oppressive heat, we made a trip to the farmers market for some peaches, blackberries, and humanely raised chicken for supper, and Treat and Nadika will be here to celebrate in just a little while. I also got a chance to catch up with my sister, and we're meeting my brother down on the Northern Neck tomorrow.
As I write, I've got my eye on the weather, hoping for a nice, big thunderstorm to break the drought and drench the garden. I think we're going to get it, too. One more gift on an already wonderful day.
