Hi Barbara! Welcome to the 70s! I've been hanging out in this decade for a while now. You wrote "70 has wisdom gained through knowledge of self as its priority."

I would agree with that for sure. It's been a real adventure along those lines for me. Better late than never.

I love your photos. Thanks for sharing them. You look like a rascal, a very cute one.

New Hampshire, eh? My brother, another rascal, lived in Troy. He loved to hike on Mt. Monadnock. There's just something about it that looks like it's keeping watch on all the rascals down below.

Anyway, I enjoyed reading your birthday post. I'll be seeing you around.

Happy belated birthday!!!!!! I LOVE that photo of you, it's simply darling.

My birthday was on the 18th, I turned 63. So, you're MY big sister, if that's okay. ^_^

I hope yours was terrific and I'm very very pleased to tell you that I now have the Internet back on in my home, as I need to keep up with the goings on of trying to get "custody" of my elder parents so I can get them back into their own house ... No small undertaking, I assure you!

I hope the trees and the snow (?) are listening and giving you all sorts of fun and aesthetic pleasure.

BEST wishes! xo xo

Cap Sun, but I'm a Sag moon, so...whew! I've definitely always felt a connection to you! It's so weird here...moved back to the midwest for snow, and it's 55 degrees and rainy today, Christmas Day. I'll walk in the snow, but the drizzly, soaking rain...? Nah. I LOVE your perspective and get excited when I have an email saying I have a new Quaking Poplar!

Barbara! Oh, the impish grin on your sweet face in that photo!Tells me so much about you...😏

The similarities continue: youngest of three girls, December birthday, love of Asia Suler... I even had furniture in my house that looked frighteningly similar!

Happiest of birthdays, my new friend ❤️

Happy birthday Barbara!

I love the darker nights too even though I'm a July girl (well, 61 year old crone haha); I love to hunker down and read, write and study.

Yes, let's hope that they leave nature in peace to deal out the weather as it sees fit rather than having it manipulated.

Wishing you a peaceful Alban Arthan.

Happy, happy birthday, sister! Mine is Monday! I forgot we are both December babies as well. I love your musings. They inspire me and remind me to get out in nature…which I’m going to do right now! Love you, fellow Crone Goddess!

Red is my least favorite color too…though as I age…some red cheek or lip color can help me look alive. It’s come to have a place in my minimal makeup drawer for when I go out! Your photograph certainly could have been pulled from my album…did you also have a crank handle refrigerator and shag carpet? Lol. I really just wanted to share what I once read in college. That the sound of your own name being said is the most beautiful sounding word to your ear. I believe that is likely to be true. I have a difficult name to pronounce in the English language and so I rarely hear it said correctly. Yet each time I meet a new person who repeats my name back perfectly, it takes me home. It feels right. All the best this birthday, holiday and beyond, Barbie.

Greetings, birthday girl and co-conspirator of the vata realm; I 'celebrated' my birthday this month a few days before you and yes, I have never been a big party-till-i-drop-character eater, in fact I didn't say a word to anyone, and I have had a nice and quiet day [or week] because of.
