Twenty one years ago was (as I post) my first
“Birth” day… the day my daughter’s birth made me a mother!
Happy birthday Austin and thank you for the most wonderful
years of my life! I know how very lucky I have been to
have had such wonderful daughter, who is also such a great
sister to her younger brother.
Despite “offering” her a rock when he was 1 and she was 4, causing several
stitches, her brother has been forgiven. Nothing is more like music than
hearing your children laugh together. In fact, kids are like the music
…somewhere between Stravinsky and Debussy… that keeps our lives
humming along.
Here is an oddity I picked up at the last flea market…
any guesses what it is? I’ll post the answer tomorrow.
The old galvanized flower bucket is filled with 4 dozen roses.
It’s been over a month since I’ve plucked a garden
rose and needed a fix, and a birthday as an excuse.
This little mirror backed lantern was one of a pair I bought at an auction…
originally rust toned…now turned to zinc
It’s been floating from dining room to kitchen
looking for the “best” spot.
Happy Birthday to your dear daughter, Trish and may it be a wonderful year ahead.
The birth of your first one is extra special, not that the second one is any less.
Our daughter was born in 1989, so she will turn 21 this year too.
The bucket of roses is so pretty and your photographs are gorgeous.
Happy weekend
Hugs

My 26 year old daughter is pretty special to me. also! Such a nice tribute!I like the “zinc” finish on the lantern.
Happy Birthday Austin! Beautiful pink roses!
Congratulate your daughter, and tell her that I love her mother’s ability to convey beauty, all categories.
Lots of love
Agneta, the swedish one

Hi Trish!
Happy B-Day to your daughter and thanks for the awsomely lovely pictures of the roses. Just gorgeous! Your photographs are so pretty. My knees are black and blue, I’m such a “YOUNG” Lady Hah! Maryannexo
Bonjour Trish,
Happy Birthday to your daughter! These roses are just gorgeous!
It cannot compete with the gorgeous pink roses, but please let Austin know that I send her a glorious virtual bouquet of the Happiest of Birthday wishes! ~jermaine~
Happy birthday to your daughter. How did you change the lantern from rust finish to zinc?
Cheers, Victoria
C2 paints “Stomp” and “Artesian” (both separate and blended a bit)…had piece of zinc nearby so I could imitate the “bloom” of lighter color that’s so characteristic of the metal.
What a wonderful post – it is a momentous day, to celebrate a ‘birth’ day. I often think of my mother, who died far too young, when it is my birthday.
My sister started giving my mother bouquets on her birthday. Very thoughtful. Now that I’m a mother I can appreciate what a wonderful day a birthday is for parents.
Is it a topiary frame?
Hi Alice…check my next post. Good guess…and I’ll be using mine in the garden…but it actually came from a turkey farm!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!!
What gorgeous roses!!

Happy birthday to your daughter ! Your pics are fabulous
I recently “discovered” your site. It’s been wonderful reading. I should really get back to painting, but as all good things, your blog is hard to walk again from it. I specially love this post. Thank you for your wonderful sharing. Best regards, Carolina Elizabeth
