Mail

I love getting mail and sending it for that matter. This little bird was for someone recovering in the hospital. Handmade cards are the best. I don't put much stock by store bought, they seem a bit cold to me. But I suppose that even the most generic card can liven up by what is written in it and the intention of the sender. I have to confess that I horde cards that are sent to me, whether they are store bought or handmade. I don't think I've ever thrown one away. 

Its getting cold here in Syracuse and the leaves are changing. Knitting weather, quilting weather, and long drives into the country weather! Lovely. I have also noticed many crows about recently especially at night, I think their nest keeps getting spooked. Its not just five or six, I think about fifty flew by me one night and this was in the heart of the city. Very strange. 

*These morning doves, like the crows, seem to be cropping up all over the place recently. Not only do I keep drawing them but I see them every where too! What a strange bird filled city I have moved to!
