Care Package from Downunder

Came home yesterday from school.  A perfectly unremarkable day.  Then sticking out of my mailbox was a large padded envelope from Australia!  How quickly fortunes turn.  Inside?  A small array of joys, tokens of friendship: A care package.  What joy

Delights are in the details.

Two oversized postcards from the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.  Favorite images of my friend's and now mine as well.
 "Shearing the Rams" 1890 by Tom Robbins
 "The Pioneers" 1904 by Frederick McCubbins

Another gift a beautiful calendar of large photographs from Tasmania, obtained by my friend on a recent quick weekend "vaycay".
