The Christmas cards came out so well the other day, I decided to scan my favorite wedding picture. This is Doc and I eleven years ago. We held our garden wedding on the first Saturday of the fall season, picking the date based on the Farmer’s Almanac online. The advice did us good – we couldn’t have asked for a more lovely day.

I look at this picture now and I wonder what I’m saying to my husband. I’d like to remember, I’m curious. And yet… I like the mystery of not knowing. Just like we can’t go back to being young newlyweds.

I love the distance between us and our photographer. I like it that I’m touching his lapel. Today that hillside is dotted with houses. The scenery is gone, but we remain.
