Ed turns 60

My husband turned sixty on the 24th of January. I think his birthday is bothering me more than it is him. He seems to be taking it all in stride. Aaron and I gave him a party on Saturday. All our friends came. His nieces Jenna and Misty came up from Maryland to help celebrate.

John, MaryKay, Lucy and Jon gave him this lounger for the camp ground. Here is a photo of him waiting for spring.

I have been sitting here printing out postcard invitations for my husband's birthday. Out of the corner of my eye, I see this red blur on the bush outside my window. It was a beautiful male cardinal. I got so excited, I scared it away. This was the first time he showed up. I have seen tit-mice, purple finch, sparrows, and chickadee's but not the cardinal. I hope I didn't scare it a way for good.



We have had about 27" of snow since the beginning of December. The girls, of course, love the snow. I haven't used the camera since the 31st of December. This isn't getting my resolution of shooting more accomplished.
