Happy, Happy.

Images from my birthday yesterday.

I am clearly raising someone who loves birthdays as much as I do...






































I am a sucker for All Things Metal...














We had a lovely picnic in the park and then watched a performance of Midsummer Night's Dream, where Nick Bottom's Pyramus stole the show. Later, the girl told me her favorite part was "the goat." At first, I thought she meant Bottom as the donkey, but then I realized she liked Puck. The naughty fairy. Ah, what fools these mortals be.

Fairies were hanging from the trees as we walked the paths to the amphitheater. The girl was enchanted. It was her first Shakespeare play. I'm so proud.


















And, of course, later there were candles.
