Dear Barbara,

Congratulations on your 4th year anniversary of the Quaking Poplar! It has been quite a collection of writings and musings. I have been here with you all along the journey. I applaud what you are doing and look forward to sharing the 5th year of wisdom from you. You are a gifted writer and I am glad that you have found your muse in your natural surroundings. Have the turtles hatched?

Thinking of you,

Linda

Thank you for being here, Linda! And it was so wonderful seeing you.

Not yet!! I'm keeping my eyes on them, and if they hatch during the day, I have a box to put them in, and I will walk them across the road. :) 🐢🐢🐢 XO

Happy 4th Birthday, Quaking Poplar!

The photos are wonderful and fun, too.

Thanks for bringing the beauty and truth of NH’s woodlands to light in such delightful and thoughtful ways.
