It is my wife, Carol’s, birthday today, and this flower, a single hollyhock from a huge stalk from our anniversary visit to the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay, is for her…for you, my love.

And I know you would like to live in the this tree house (for about 2 months, on the warm days only, during the summer.) That is not in my power, but at least I can say you are always on a throne in my heart (not The Throne, which is where Jesus sits, but a pretty big throne none the less).

I love you Carol.
