Flowers in Breckenridge

I love walking down the streets in Breckenridge, Colorado and seeing the beautiful hanging baskets of flowers.

I also love the fact that you can find dandelions happily thriving in this perfectly manicured town. I saw a little girl carrying a bouquet as she walked down the sidewalk and she looked like me, at age 6.

Dandelion Chain

When Don and I took a break on a hike the other day, I decided to rest and make a dandelion necklace.

I remember how clever I felt doing that as a little girl.

I wore my necklace for a little while, but then tossed back into the field. I only felt a little guilty about messing with nature on my hike. (Those seeds will grow new dandelions.) Plus, I was thinking like a 6 year old. We were always encouraged to pick dandelions in the yard!

Sixty
Celebrations

It's April 9, 2017. I'm celebrating my 60th by removing the zero from my age.

Party
Like A Six-Year-Old

I plan to spend this year pondering the good things I remember about my world, when I was 6. I remember those 12 months well, because my family moved from Iowa to NYC for just one year. My memories of 1963-64 are vivid ones.

My Plan

I'll celebrate this milestone birthday for 12 months. I'm going to conjure up the early 1960's and have 60 mini celebrations... in the spirit of my 6 year old self!
