poppy view: My Birthday

Tuesday, March 21, 2017

Hello all,

Happy Spring!

On Sunday, we celebrated my birthday, dining

al fresco in this gorgeous landscape, just a

10 minute drive from our village.

While daisies and buttercups garnished the fields below,

source

we had a scrumptious lunch on the patio

of this beautifully rustic establishment,

high, in the hilly Cretan countryside.

Before leaving, a prayer at the inn's tiny chapel,

completed our visit to this pretty, pastoral place.

Once home, Liberty and I immediately changed into

more sporty clothing, then departed on our daily walk,

hoping to undo some of the damage done at the tavern.

Now, my daughter is twenty something and in great shape.

And, although she can easily finish our route in half the time,

she is happy to stroll at my pace, simply to keep me company.

After all, I'm no spring chicken,

just a loving, mother hen!

Thanks for visiting!

xoxo
