Well, we made it through Birdies Birthday. It was a nice and quiet day, even as sad as it was it was a good day. The weather turned nice and sunny, so we got to take our walk and Macy was happy for that too. Thank you to all who commented or took the time to send us an email, your all so sweet to think of Birdie and us. I have been feeling some disappointment over the friends and family who didn't acknowledge Birdies Birthday. Some people surprised me with not even a note. It hurts. People that I was sure would remember what March 3rd was last year and will always be for us.

Anyway, we took a lot of photos that I want to share with you. I am just too lazy to get them up here but I will before we leave on Thursday for our vacation.

I am SO ready to get the fuck out of here. I am ready ready ready! We haven' taken a real vacation like this since the first year we were dating when we went to Ireland for 10 days. We are heading to Virginia, where the weather will be more springlike than here and I am told that the flowers should be in bloom! Finally, we can get away and really relax together for a bit and not think about too much. I am also hoping that this vacation will be invigorate my creative juices that have been sort of falling asleep as of late. I have been fighting myself to produce something anything creative....and it's been hard for me. I am still working on the photo project that I started last fall, but was sort of on hiatus.

I hope to find some beautiful old graveyards on this trip, and whatever else might catch my eye and work with my photo series.

Well, thank you again for remembering Birdie on her birthday. It means so much.

It's starting to feel like spring in Virginia. Lots of birds singing ...
I don't know where you're going in Va., but there is an amazing old graveyard in Fredericksburg (well, one of many.) But this one is off the beaten path. It is on Littlepage Street in downtown Fred. It sits across the street from some little ancient houses. I used to live in one of them and often walked my dog up to the cemetery. It's got graves dating back to the 1800s. I never did figure out if it was a church graveyard or what. But people still put flowers there...
Have a good trip.

I hope you have a good trip.

There's been flu here since shortly after I got back from NY. I am just today starting to feel human, sort of. I'd feel more human if I could swallow. Sorry I missed Birdie's birthday.

I hope you have a great trip!

I'm sorry I missed Birdie's birthday. I've been taking a mental health break of sorts from blog reading. You are always in my thoughts.
