All Work and Some Play

Although I haven't enjoyed my own birthday since I turned 17 only three months after my mother's death, I love my great-nieces' and great-nephew's birthdays.  I spend an inordinate amount of time working on their presents.  Witness my lost weekend.  Squeezing time between paying jobs, I selected and uploaded photographs, designed and tweaked calendars, edited and revised them, and saved them for fresh eyes in the morning.

Neither child a reader yet but both in love with wild things, may my North Carolina greats who celebrate February birthdays enjoy their gifts and those of this world.
