Congratulations!! I assume you had a nice day. You only have 1 year to 25 years, 1/4 of a century! I know the empty nest phase, have somehow recovered from the first bird leaving, but as you know, I have no knowledge when my second one is ready to try her wings. I´m sure you will survive, you and your husband are so active in every way.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-45684604465743956852010-03-21T23:31:33.347-04:002010-03-21T23:31:33.347-04:00Happy Anniversary - I hope you and Le Duc have an ...Happy Anniversary - I hope you and Le Duc have an indulgent day, or at least an indulgent meal together this evening.

Sometimes it bothers me and I have to turn it off - it is not an easy or even happy song, too much like real life, I guess. <br /><br />So have a happy day, both of you. An empty nest must be such an odd thing, at once a bit desolate but also liberating while you still have the health to enjoy round two. (I've never had children; long-distance sweetie has a grown daughter). <br /><br />Many years you must have snow on the ground for your anniversary but I imagine that there are a lot of buds and perhaps even some early spring flowers in Toronto, a zone warmer than we are. I saw lots of huge buds on trees while out yesterday, and tulip, daffodil, snowdrop leaves just preparing to burst out in flower. <br /><br />In French there is a powerful verb for that: éclore, the noun is éclosion. It means to hatch, to bloom, to burst open, figuratively too. <br /><br />So a happy day to you and also to pseu et son homme!lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-78292662620001255342010-03-21T12:44:21.578-04:002010-03-21T12:44:21.578-04:00That Brel song is so bittersweet and touching.
