Sunday is my 52nd birthday. Yikes, that sounds even worse than it did last year! I went back and read last year's post, and I don't think I achieved even one of those things I listed. And I'm not feeling at all introspective this year. So I decided to just make myself a great big mosaic bouquet. Because a girl needs a few flowers on her birthday, right? ;)
Have a great weekend, dear bloggers!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers!
I am ready to see them in person.
It is beginning to feel like a long winter...
maybe it is the lack of real snow here.
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Mary. You certainly do deserve some flowers - not only for your birthday, but every day. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a super BDAY, Mary!

Happy Birthday dear lady. Your bouquet is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy almost Birthday Mary. Mine was last week (58 OMG) and I am taking that bouquet to cheer me up in this winter of way too much snow and too little warmth and sunshine.

Have a wonderful, happy Birthday Mary! Your bouquet is beautiful, I think it could be a metaphor for a bouquet of 52 wonderful years:>)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mary!
ReplyDeleteI can remember your husband snickering at the AARP membership envelope arriving. Two years ago!?? :) I'd say you have achieved a lot over the past year. Think of how far your photography has come! Thank you for sharing your journey with us...
xoxo~

Absolutely! And whatever blesses everyone else is just a double gift. Thanks and have a happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! On Sunday! And 52 sounds like the PERFECT age to be!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY - you do NOT look 52 at all. If you didn't know how old you are what age would you think you are? Makes you wonder doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend fellow Aquarian.
Love the flower pictures, very bright and happy.
Happy Birthday Mary! 52 is a wonderful age - its just a number anyway! Celebrate your day with flowers and family.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Mary. I am drawn to your site over and over again because of your wonderful photography. I had to respond for your special day. I turned 61 this year and I appreciate every day of wisdom that I have earned. Life is far from over. (My first book will be published in the spring of 2010 when I'll be 62!) Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.

I can't believe I typed your name wrong the first time. I am so sorry. I had just come from another site and my brain is dead. I still hope you have a great birthday.
Love the flowers! So pretty. I'm thinking of doing a collage of flowers for The Love Nest.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
Happy Birthday! Your flowers are stunning and 52 is young from my standpoint!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mary! From one fifty-something to another....it's not so bad! I enjoy your blog and adore your style.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! What's your hair type?
ReplyDeleteokay let me ask again, i want to give you a present (small one) but you need to tell me what kind of shampoo your hair needs
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, I turned 52 last year, it doesn't seem any different than 51 so there's hope. Maybe the clock will start going backyards LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, as a member of the 52nd Club, I can say that it's better than being in the 51st! Enjoy Sister, and live life well. Cydney

ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to leave comments, and for some reason they have not been accepted. I see this last one went through as a test. I will try again. Happy belated birthday. Sounds like it was a nice relaxing one. I love your collage.
