So I just celebrated another birthday and we've come full circle. As in my childhood my birthday highlights included a chocolate cake, eating out at a restaurant and a trip to a well equipped park. Once again a beautiful sunny late April day fooled me and this time my family with me that I was born in the summer. Our bare legged trip to the beach was greeted by chipper cold wind who came along to say hello. Alas, we did not return the winds enthusiasm, we retreated from the picnic table to a wind blocked play area. Playing with the girls outside is a treat that I won't soon trade for anything. It is usually time that robs parents of theses moments as children age and seek their fun and fortunes on their own terms. Thankfully, sunny days at the park with my little seedlings makes time slow right down, just the way I like it.
