Summers are always stifling for me also. My energy level plummets in the heat and I can't seem to focus very well. I'm glad to hear that Fringe was fun and successful for you :D Making 250 people laugh is a great reward on its own, I think... And also, the entire experience of being a part of something like that would be an incredible joy :D

Bobbin seems like a beautiful bird, maybe he is one of those that can't be caged (like you say), so I hope he's doing well, wherever he is :) You painted his portrait so nice! I love how dapper he seems, carrying his little top hat like that with his beak :D

It's nice to see you posting again, Rache <3
