It´s A Kind of Magic


Went shortly to my private PC (7 steps from work to home, bliss, or... magic?) and saw... Peanut. 
In the flowerbed again. Munching away.
Please, can´t you eat at the table, I wanna plant in there once the temps are good!
By golly, dude!
 
But... can you be mad at such a sweet face?!
 
Hours later Ingo came home, saying I got mail. From... USA!
Ohhhhh!!!! 
 
 
I will treasure this for sure!
With warm hands I very carefully straightened it and....


Clue from whom this is, right?   
I think they are fed a bit too much at that lake, the birds 😂
 
To get back to the title... what I found is a ...

 

I kid you not! Really, these two things happened yesterday!
Inside this beautiful envelope I found...
 
I invite you to a home-made pizza if you guess right! ... I found:


Kathy, how .. ohhh, Peanut and I say a HUGE thank you!!! What a wonderful surprise!
Such a great art-work, we love it!

A bit scary, I´m not done with the magic here!
See.
I bought this last week:


Kathy ended her wonderful letter with the lake - of course - like this:


Now... what do YOU think?! 
Really, I kid you not, this happened for real!
After a very stressy day, too, oh, soooo good!
 
And yes, that is fresh basil in the pic I still keep inside as it gets cold at night.

Henry, ask Kathy... and wait till it warms up a little.
Kathy, if this guy swims to your place, he is nice. He might want pizza.

Fresh basil! The same in the shops here looks dry and brownish, not "fresh" at all. I have a neighbour who has some growing in her yard, I will ask if I can pick a few leaves for my pizza tomorrow. Then when I go to the nursery next, I will buy a basil plant of my own.

We get it at the grocery store here, all year round, always good and fresh! Don´t you have a Woolies around the corner?
And, yes, that was the reason I bought this - Pizza 😁🍕🧡

Peanut is too cute. Snail mail is such a wonderful surprise.

My name is Erika. said...

Fun Happy Mail. And I'm glad to see Peanut. I hadn't seen the red squirrel in my area actually get into the bird feeder since last year, and yesterday I watched him pop in and out. I was happy about that. Have a great rest of your FRiday Iris. And happy start of the weekend. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, yes, I forgive him/her anything :-)
And yes, snail mail is great!

Erika, yay to your "Peanut" being back!!!
I am done now, work wise, and wish you a great time, too, hugs!

Good morning Iris, I love coincidences like that-so fun especially the matching shirts-how cool is that? hugs
I will watch for him swimming in the lake-I think perhaps and I hope the rains have finally stopped here for awhile-would you believe we are jumping right into the 90 f degrees early next week-crazy weather from cold and rain right up to the 90s Have an awesome weekend hugs from the Lake

Iris Flavia said...

Kathy, YAY for summer temps, and have a pizza ready ;-)
I´ll think of you wearing that shirt 😘

RedPat said...

I like the shirt and Kathy's drawings. Peanut must have sensed what was in the mail.
