Tara's birthday socks and pie

wild socks

Tara had a great birthday last week, with wild new socks and a pie instead of a cake. You can see all the photos (15) on flickr.
Here are some of the things that made it such a good day:

• sleeping in and then having a long bath
• having toast with warm jam just made by Dad
• getting a new sundress and wearing it on a hike
• getting some wild new socks that our new friends the Harpers brought from Florida
• having a strawberry-rhubarb pie instead of a cake
• eating raclette served over cornmeal, deeeeelicious! while adults sampled wine at Hugue Clavien's cave
• having a barbecue where we made onions steamed with lots of garden herbs and a bit of butter
• getting to eat as much meat as Tara wanted!

May you all have such nice birthdays when it is your turn.
