two years, thirty-six years

recently, very recently, the baron and the husband had a two-fold celebration: their second wedding anniversary and the husband's 36th birthday. both events come on the same day - the husband's thought process being that, if they married on his birthday, the odds of his forgetting their anniversary were pretty slim. so far, this plan is working. below are two gifts from the baron to her man.

above is something the baron and the husband have long talked of adding to their outdoor living space - to the seating area they call "fern valley". the baron was delighted by the cost and the make of the buddha (it was nicely priced, and is made of cement rather than some kind of fiberglass), and the husband - who has long held a fascination with all things asian - was glad to incorporate this symbol of serenity into his garden.

it was a successful and happy day all around.
