I stocked up on birthday cards yesterday.

Coming up:  one week of birthday cards, birthday cakes, birthday stories, birthday people and maybe even a birthday show house.  I’m tired just thinking about it.  I am reminded that today is Wendell Berry’s birthday.  I wonder if he celebrates such things?

Today is a good day to rest in the garden and get ready for the busy week of birthday action ahead.

You’d better rest up too.
