"And another year blooms..." Marcy Brenner


"Will there really be a Morning?
Is there such a thing as Day?
Could I see if from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like Water lilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries

Oh some Wise Men from the skies?
Please to tell a little Pilgrim
Where the place called Morning likes.
                                                              
                                                                  Emily Dickinson

David made the best three-layer chocolate cake I have ever had and, along with candles, and family we had a great birthday dinner.
