On the 2nd Day of Christmas...




I woke up bright and early. The full moom had circled the house in the night and was stuck in the frosty branches of the tree in my back yard. Last night Liam and I had admired it in the front yard as we sat on the couch and looked out the window at the frozen night sky. It is still cold...-36 Celcius!




But a little bird braved the cold to offer me a reason to be happy with the season. You see, it brings not only cold weather, but pretty, mysteriously wrapped packages! This one is from Penelope!
Oh My! This was totally worth getting up early for! It's a diminutive book, beautifully hand bound. Each page has a tiny pocket that holds a wee little card. Each card is inscribed with magic. It's the secret of Alchemy, that forgotten science that turns the ordinary into gold. It works! Penelope totally made my day golden!
