Blooming at the break of dawn

He who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth is generally considered a fortunate person, but his good fortune is small compared to that of the happy mortal who enters this world with a passion for flowers in his soul.

- Celia Thaxter

In the dim, early morning light a grainy image of winter hope unfolds. With it I send 24th birthday wishes to my best boy, my nephew, far over the sea.

For the Record,
This day came in damp and warmer than yesterday, it smells and looks like rain.
