April...
And is there any other month more enjoyable for a birthday?
Celebrating both mine...and my youngest grandson's (...he, who had the good fortune of being born on Earth Day!)
My 53rd...and his 3rd.
A month of warm breezes...early travel...spring planting...buds and blooms...the return of the robins and later humming birds...fresh morels...rumbling and sparkling car shows...lighter fare with salads and fresh asparagus and waters. Honeysuckle and Jasmine candles.
And, this April, the celebration lasts over the entire month...reminding me of a co-worker, Wanda, who always celebrated every day of her birth month. Walking up with a smile each day to say
"Hey...guess what today is?"
"It's my BIRTHDAY!"
(...and her husband played along, as well...giving her one small wrapped gift every day...)
Never failed to generate a laugh, though. And at least once- we celebrated (complete with a small cake) at work on Nov. 1st, because...well... it wasn't Wanda's birthday anymore!
So mine begins tomorrow with a Spring Brunch with Kara and Barbara...and ending the week with Pam (and Lobsterfest...a birthday tradition with us...then only days later headed to Memphis...and an early celebration with Angie and Che :)
Can't wait!
Our coffee and chat starting much the same way every morning for the past couple of weeks.
"Only ____ more days!" (squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel)
And plotting and planning our Tennessee Adventures.
Waiting and watching to see the results of my spore plugs (morels) from Fall and can hardly wait for the first of the grays! Yes...I know you can freeze them...and no...I never do...the anticipation is as delicious as the first Morel.
Knowing Spring has truly arrived by the dusting off of my neighbor's cherry red fully restored VW bus puttering around Greencastle. Looking forward to the beginning of Car Season! Harley Season...already started last week...lol... Also conveniently beginning in April.
And container planting a Meyers Lemon Tree for my patio on Earth Day!
Yes, with Friends and Brunches...Family and Grands...Spring Planting and Flowers...Car shows and Harleys...Earth Day and Morels...April is (perhaps) the PERFECT month to be born!!
