Willametta Turnepseed 202 Roseland East Springfield, Ohio -3- Trying to write you from the breakfast alcove but there's too much distraction. A brown thrush had me excited for a minute - I thought it was a quail. And I like the blue jays perky ways and slyly slip 'em peanuts; Dad says he doesn't like them because he has heard they rob bird's-nests. They do seem to keep other birds away - except the robins who calmly ignore 'em and the red thrushes who are real battlers and bluff 'em out. I was just wondering about bird nations; - but I can't get philosophical about how they get along because it's time to eat, dress, and get started. I'll take this letter along & mail it. More later, including more love, Willametta
