July 6th

Do I seem older and wiser to you? More mature and aware of my place in the world? Could this possibly be because I turned 26 on Tuesday?


I raced up to Elmwood the day before to meet my mom for two nights of mother/daughter bonding. We canoed, baked pies, star gazed, napped and hung around the red chair for longer than appropriate. We sweated and swam and swatted mosquitoes.

I ceremoniously dug out this little book that belonged to my great great grandmother Ella called The Floral Birthday Book. It's from the 1880s and has a corresponding flower and poem for each day of the year.



July 6th (my very special birthday) is the iris which apparently means "I have a message for you". Funnily enough, I do have a message for you.

I think you're really smart and funny and wonderful and I can't wait to spend my 26th year with you. (In a metaphysical way, at least).
