i am so much a country woman; i love the mail.

i love it especially when it contains not one, not two, but THREE good things!

and yes, several recycle bin fillers, but there were three good things!!!

i opened a card from hannah advising: TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER.

a valentine.

but i smelled something great...maybe pine?

is it the lichen covered twigs i found in my pocket yesterday? no, they are scentless.

what is that?

there's this letter/contract...where i plan to teach this summer (yay). more about that later.

i can still smell that wonderful smell.

a chinese new year wish from aimee, which i opened... and woohoo! the scent of...

eucalyptus!

from oakland. complete with letterpress MOON.

my head is reeling with the scent of these delicious leaves.

aromatic is not the word.

wondrous is.
