Hello Abby, Such a great surprise to receive your postcard when I got home today – thank-you! Not sure why you might wish that you were in Canada – it is frigid here right now, and all we can do is HOPE for spring. i like the project, and enjoyed your drawing of the house. i have planted more gardens and trees, and HOPE to do much more this spring and summer. The balcony is beautiful when filled with flowering plants. HOPE you are well, and all the best to you, John
