Yesterday, I was on my lunch hour and out of the kitchen window, I saw the Amazon truck and I thought, hmmmm.... what did I order last?.... I didn't think I had anything coming today. As I headed to the door to retrieve the package, still trying to remember what it should be, something I saw the other day on facebook crossed my mind. It was a meme that said Amazonesia was when you ordered so frequently from Amazon, that you forgot what exactly you ordered !
I retrieved the package from the porch, closed the door behind me and tore into the package, still wondering what it was ! Then I saw the book, (I didn't order that !).... and saw it was about Ravens and I knew immediately that it had to be something my sister Vicky had sent me as we had recently had a conversation about crows.
(WHEW!!.... thank goodness it wasn't just my memory failing me !)
I have a murder of crows that hang out near my house. My sister doesn't live so far from me, barely a couple of miles and she hears crows in the mornings, but has not enticed them over to her house with food because she doesn't want to feed the squirrels too ! Me, I'll take my chances, because crows are so fun to watch. Since they are all from the Corvid family, therefore the Raven book.
The package also included this sunshiny mug. I love fun mugs.
Not only is it sunny on the outside, the inside is a happy bright red. What is not to love about it I ask ??
I started looking through the book, but have not finished it. It is a collection of short snippets about ravens through time and art. Not intense reading at all, but interesting and entertaining all the same.
I love surprises (the good ones that is).... and this one made my day.
It's Friday Eve, almost the weekend again. I hope you are all doing well and have had a good week.
