I sent a little box of goodies to a friend who always remembers me and my family and who has had a little rough autumn, and asked Minerva ,my 9 year old, if she'd like to make a drawing to include in the box. With her usual determination she sat down after doing homework and started drawing.

She didn't ask me what to draw or for ideas, and next time I looked she had filled a sheet of paper with birds!!! I almost wanted to keep it for myself , but it had been drawn for Merja so we took photographs and sent it along! Now that the packet has arrived at destination I can show the drawing...
