~WATERCOLORED ROOSTER
on an envelope~
A new addition to the series:
"Letters to my Mother"
My Mom loves them and so does our post office
around the corner, when I personally hand in a
new painted envelope to my Mom!
________________________________
The rooster is often (accurately)
pictured in art as crowing at the break of
dawn.
Since we have to get up so early in the morning,
I thought it was nice to show my Mom how a
rooster in our neighborhood is calling for the sun
even before our alarm goes off!
My Mom lives on a beautiful
(click on)
HOUSE BOAT
in the Netherlands, on the river
Vecht,
between Utrecht and
Amsterdam.
Her twin daughters (I'm one of them) both live
abroad so we send her letters.
