Janus

 

The Roman god Janus has two faces, one looking to the future and the other backward at the past.  

A simple fact of life, neither happy nor unhappy-- but there's more days behind us now than ahead. I sometimes take a jaunt down memory lane on the blog, which stretches back 16 years and 4,630 posts. Feathers and Flowers started back in 2009, right before Nova was born.

And here's our princess in 2010, on her first tent camping trip at Banks Lake. The same group of Methow friends have kept this May tradition going, and are heading out there again Memorial Day weekend with trailers, campers, dogs, boats, tons of food and their "babies," now strapping teenage boys and girls. 

 

What else happened in May 2010 that was worth writing about? Well, I brought that little stick of an olive tree home from the West Seattle Nursery.
