what I saw
2014 June 9
on my 42nd birthday:
Willow blossoms
Erysimum capitatum – western wallflower (never pass up an opportunity to smell this flower)
Trollius albiflorus -globeflower (the floral equivalent of buttermilk, visually speaking)
Lewisia pygmea – bitterroot (a charming spring gift)
A secret note tucked in my backpack.
This family!
11,500 feet and up!
What I felt on my 42nd birthday: gratitude; immense, crazy, wild gratitude.

Happy Birthday to you. Thank you for sharing your family and your birthday day with us. You and they are special to us, you know.
happy birthday rachel! if i was to make my own list of appreciation for you it might contain things like:
-inspiring me in all my favorite things: food, medicinals, mothering, homesteading.
-you always keep it real and bring the sanity back to the insane practice of parenting.
-for tickling my neurons and reminding me to keep striving to be a better writer.
-for being a kindred spirit-almost-met.
much love for 42!
Happy Birthday! I celebrated my 43rd bday on saturday!

Happy Birthday! The beauty of the natural world that you experienced is eclipsed by the love and gratitude of your family. An amazing list. How wonderful that the kids are so appreciative — even for snacks– and that you and Dan have fostered that sensibility.
happy birthday dear friend! 42! the answer to life, the universe, and everything. or maybe gratitude is the answer, so either way, you’re set! have a blissful year full of good cheer and good health. xoxo
