in the letterbox today

I've never expressed this in so many words, but I love going out to the letterbox to see what has arrived for me that day. (childlike I know, but hey....) Most days it's just the regular sort of mail, but sometimes I get lovely little surprises like today from a friend I only meet ever so briefly but has spoilt me with her lovely, kind comments via email and treasures in the post. I must have expressed to her that I liked, no not liked, adored birds, birds in flight, ducks crossing the road with their ducklings, kookaburras singing, magpies on the balcony waiting for a feed of red meat, peacocks on the gravel driveway, seagulls wanting your hot chips, swans on the lake, finches collecting grass seeds I've just planted, even cheeky keas in the mountains pulling to pieces my frozen windscreen wipers!

Me being abstract in thought and mind loves the plainest outline of the birds. Anyways, here is what came for me today and I feel an urge to start sewing a comin on! Thankyou Cherie......I feel blessed to have a friend with such a kind heart! xx
