turning thirty-eight, a celebration in photos.

Today I am thirty-eight.  I celebrated the day of my birth by taking a hike with my beloved, followed by a little silliness at the river. The afternoon was punctuated by unexpected calls and visits and hugs from friends and family and the gift of a little time alone to dip brushes in paint.  An incredible meal and a campfire marked the descent into night.  All in all, it was a simple, yet full, day spent almost entirely out-of-doors with the people I love.  My soul is full and I am saturated with gratitude.  Now to lie under the stars and catch a glimpse of the leonids....a celestial ending to a most incredible, earthly celebration.
