Spincerely yours,

This is my little Pierre Junior Birdsman.

Do you remember that song? We used to sing it at Girl Scout camp. It is the one where you touch the tips of your thumbs to the tips of your index fingers, then flip both hands upside down and hold them over over your face with your eyes peering through the holes formed like a pair of goggles?  I know now that it is really not “Pierre Junior Birdsman,” but “Up in the Air Junior Birdman,” but I still have those childhood lyrics stuck in my head, sort of like my own little alternate reality that I don’t really want to give up.  Anyway, in case you are interested, the song goes like this:

Up in the air junior birdman

Up in the air upside down

Up in the air junior birdman

Keep your noses off the ground

When you hear the grand announcement

that your wings are made of tin.

Then you know that Junior Birdman,

has turned his box tops in.*

For it takes: 5 box tops,

4 bottle bottoms,

3 coupons,

2 wrappers,

and one thin dime!)

I do still think of Agent B as “My Little Pierre” when she gets all into her birding like that. I don’t tell her that of course. I don’t think she would like it very much.

She went on a Duck Ramble with Junior Audubon today. IHA sent me this photo from his phone. Apparently it was very very cold outside today. I think that is because we live in Antarctica. Or maybe this is really November all over again and we just skipped spring, summer, and fall. Well, I could ramble on about the weather all day, but my sweet wild cherry red dryer just sang me my love song to let me know that he is done with IHA’s shirts.

BTW, I don’t usually use photos in my blog with other people in the background because I think you should always have someone’s permission before posting their picture online, but don’t you think it was convenient of IHA to take a photo where everyone’s face is covered?

Oh, and also, I started spinning my Freckle Face Fibers BFL in Peaseblossom and it is a total dream to spin! It just flows through my fingers like water and I love it!

Have a great evening and please let the sun come out tomorrow!
