Today, the 12th of March, is my friend Yolanda’s birthday. She lives in California, but is celebrating this special day with her family in Puerto Rico.
Happy birthday, my dear, and many happy returns! I am sending you a big hug and this bouquet of flowers.
Yolanda’s blog is called “Blue Dreams”:

JAN DAVIDSZ DE HEEM: STILL-LIFE WITH TULIPS (1645)
Today, on the first of March, my youngest sister is celebrating her birthday. Congratulations, dear sister, and many happy returns! I am sending you this bunch of tulips and a poem by Victor Hugo.
Tout est lumière, tout est joie.
L’arraignée au pied diligent
Attache aux tulipes de soie
Ses rondes dentelles d’argent.
Victor Hugo (1802 - 1855)
Today is my younger sister’s birthday. Happy birthday, my dear, with many happy returns! Celebrate and enjoy! I am sending you this bouquet of flowers.
