Hi Amy, I am glad you had a good birthday. I enjoyed your post and reading about the birds you see. About the crow. Week 22 I drew a crow because it was visiting our garden and soaking things in the bird bath. I got curious about crows and came across an article of Richard Wagamese about crows , the meaning for him and in his culture and it included a lovely old story about the crow wondering about his role and purpose. I link it here for if you are interested. https://www.yukon-news.com/letters-opinions/more-than-ever-slow-down-and-listen/
Good morning Amy, Some excellent thoughts on your “blog” this morning. Birthdays are definitely tricky. They’ve been such a big deal all of our lives - we’ve been set up, really, to feel a bit empty or disappointed if they don’t come off the way we’d hoped. (Mine being so near Christmas - well - I’ve always tried very hard to downplay it because it’s such a busy/hectic time of year for everyone. I’m rather enjoying just a birthday walk with a friend, tea on the bikepath...SIMPLE pleasures) All of the things you did and noticed were perfect! My life-long friend, Susie Wong, who lives on Ulloa and walks dogs for a nearby shelter, has befriended a crow that pops up whenever she’s walking and follows her (with a dog!!) along her walk. I believe she’s named the crow Bradley! May you find / create joy in every day this 2nd half of 2023.
Happy birthday week!
I always try to downplay my birthday, partly because I have mixed feelings about the attention, partly because I’m afraid of being disappointed.
I am really glad you are here.

Happy birthday 🥳 Glad to see you were able to take some time for yourself and also lemon curd! Yay!
Happy Birthday, Amy! I'm glad it turned out to be a good day. 😀
Um, what is TL;DR?
