pegkerrHappy 22nd Birthday, Harry, dear, and happy birthday, too, to your creator Jo Rowling. Wishing you both all possible joy and happiness for the coming year (as well as all the chocolate frogs you can eat.)
I received a well-timed package today from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kijjohnson, marked "express owl post." Inside was lovely glass snow owl ornament, wings and talons outstretched. The obvious thing to do would be to name her Hedwig, of course, but perhaps I will come up with something else. I thought it was eerily appropriate for her to arrive on Harry's birthday: I was rather forlorn when I talked to Kij last Sunday, and so she sent an owl to cheer me up–just as Ron, Hermione and Hagrid sent owls to cheer Harry up on his birthday in The Goblet of Fire. Anyway, the owl's hanging above my desk, right over the card that I got at the opening of the Minnesota Center for Book Arts with a quote from Helen Hayes that reads: "From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened, you discover that you have wings."
Seems appropriate.
Cheers,
Pe
