In a dream I walked a fragrant
path, and emerged through a gate to see a garden that loved
me. My blooms surrounded me, and I tended them with care because
I loved them. Perhaps a family is like that garden; each child
a delicate rose that with the nurturing of a gardener can flourish
and bring beauty to the world. Our newest little "bloom"
is our daughter Everett. On her first birthday, I present this
garden, and this cottage, in her honor!
