Happy Anniversary, Country-Fried Daddy

Nine years, two kids, three moves and countless revisions of the grand dream…

Getting to do it all with my best friend: priceless.

The Wild Rose

Sometimes hidden from me
in daily custom and in trust,
so that I live by you unaware
as by the beating of my heart.

Suddenly you flare in my sight,
a wild rose blooming at the edge
of thicket, grace and light
where yesterday was only shade,

and once again I am blessed, choosing
again what I chose before.

-by Wendell Berry, for his wife
