plasticine hobo, gifts from the best folks ever, another glorious day in the PNW

While watching "Born for  Hard Luck" , from Orange Crate's post on Friday, I had a wad of plasticine to fondle. 

Clay is soothing , relaxing,  while watching the  DOC  about a rascal extraordinary hobo, Peg Leg Sam, back in the day,  it pinched and molded itself from a wad into half a hobo . 

Mindlessly, like blind drawing,  brain on hold as hands  fiddle around.  Never know, it could have easily been a dog or a pony. It is in wad form again - potential to be something else.

I love that about plasticine.

Mr. postman came to day with two magnificent gifts from two magnificent persons! My oldest and dearest sister friend since we were three years old- sent a book, The Sun ,and a letter- a REAL letter! I wish that she would blog , her writing is delicious! She also sent a dolly for Maple and a belt, which of course is worn where it does the most good. The buckle reflects light- Maple can use the reflection to look for things lost, she claims.

 

Mr. Postman, whose name is Scott, is our favorite man in uniform , helpful , considerate , brings our mail to our front door!  Rings the bell and waits  patiently- hands us our mail like it is the best present  we will ever get ,even if it is just bills and advertising -with a big  smile and cheer and "have a great day."

Francesca, of Girlette fame, sent three  adorable stuffin's for the three that live here. It's a love fest! stuffed animals do have a lot of love and comfort to offer, you know.

 PLUS a bonus
 Pom Poms and game cards, the raccoon is  ACE! I am  pleased that everyone is happy, toys for toys- in  my  glad world. May as well NOT adult these days- so called adults just get the world into deeper trouble.  I just toddle on  in my  toddly way-   waiting for old age to strike me dead.  If they find me lying on the floor, they will probably search for the child that must live here as well. It will be a mystery to keep them busy  for days, years, maybe!

Hard luck plasticine... fell off a train, lost arms and legs but not his brain. Kept  it in his hat- and that is that. Watch the DOC , if you have time, it is worthy and short. That man did have some troubles, oh yes he did, but he took it all in stride on his fence post leg.
