If keeping a blog verges on being slightly narcissistic (I have been told this!), then posting notice of one’s birthday has to be the epitome of (inoffensive, to be sure) self-indulgence. Oh, but how nice it is to hear from everyone!
Still, I worry that it is an unreciprocated event. I think of all the birthdays, name days, celebrations and important dates in people’s life that I have passed without so much as nod of greeting. Makes me cringe with shame.
These flowers, then, are for all those forgotten, unrecognized, or mistreated by me souls (oh so many!)!
[BTW, the answer to the earliest post of the day is, of course, that all those faces belong to April 21st birthdays; this post title is my blasphemous reworking of a poem line by Clare]
