I believe in Angels .........

My beautiful birdhouse, created by Mountainear's husband

Sometimes people perform acts of generosity and kindness that defy explanation; yesterday I was the grateful and fortunate recipient of such a gift. A mystery parcel had been sent to me. You can imagine my delight when I opened the large box to discover carefully wrapped inside, this most gorgeous birdhouse, designed as a New England style Church, which had been handcrafted for me! I was completely overwhelmed by the generosity and the kind words for me in a card that accompanied it.

I had admired a similar creation a while back on a friend, Mountainear's blog, when she and her glamorous assistant had headed for a local Craft Fair armed with his glorious creations hand crafted from Oak and Pitch Pine. The attention to detail is remarkable, even the roof has tiny dowels fixing the roof in place. I am looking forward to being able to get it out in the garden and watching to see who the lucky residents are! I shall keep you posted about who moves in.

F, I can't tell you how much this cheered me up, I don't have enough superlatives to express my feelings. You were so right, it has been a horrible month so far, and I am impressed you picked up my gloomy mood, it has been hard not to feel that way though, we have lost 3 members of our family in as many weeks. Thank you so much.

'I have a dream', Abba - dedicated to Mountainear

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
Ill cross the stream - I have a dream
