I know, I know: no posts for weeks, and then two in one day. But there’s a reason I have to post this one today, and that in this case, tomorrow will not do.

Kathryn’s web site itself is amazing: stay in touch, and you’ll see everything from this:

All of which brings me to my favorite gardener in the world: my sweetheart, fiancée and best friend.

As I type this, I am at my desk, perhaps 25 feet from Ana’s garden, which is currently being busily criss-crossed by yellow finches, red-tail thises and thats, and a lot of other birds whose names I don’t know but whose songs I love.

Happy birthday, Sweetheart!
