One card in my mailbox

I have never received so many congratulations on my birthday as this year, but funny enough, I have received only one card in my mailbox this time. It was waiting for me there yesterday. It came all the way from Australia, with a beautiful stamp on the envelope. It is so nice to receive handmade things, as this gives you a feeling that this person was thinking about you more than just those few minutes when buying a card in a shop. Thank you, Emily, you made my day! :) I love that little bird and your handwriting!

It was a beautiful day yesterday, but I did not decide to spend it in the mountains. Instead I enjoyed the afternoon doing nothing and reading Marie Claire Idees magazines that I borrowed from a friend (oh, I wish I spoke French!). I cooked millet flakes in milk, added some fig jam and sesame seeds for the porridge. Yum! It was a perfect evening; I wish each one was as pleasant as it was yesterday's.

Though there comes the inevitable - morning fog and dew are slowly creeping into the land. In no time I will not wear my summer skirts anymore, in no time the leaves will change their colors. Let's enjoy today!
