He is married to a sometimes aloof, always sensitive, high-strung person and is still standing. I try to make up for my faults by occasionally baking brownies, lemon bars, and cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The annual bouquet in our front yard tree is in bloom, and as I sit in the living room with it right outside the window I think there couldn&#8217;t be anything more lovely.
