My first words, or at least thoughts, "Are you NUTS!!!! Oh, its for Dandello? She'll love it."
So much of this was pulled from our experiances in October. The scene with the box of angels was an unintended sorrowful memory for me. It reminded me of my Mom's love of bells. She had over 300 of them in a display case in the front room of their house.
Elisabeth used me as a resource for most of the farm related stuff. The early bird choir was straight from my youth. I would spend the summer's at my grandparent's farm and the was like a million of the dratted birds every morning to wake you up. It was loud because my grandparents didn't have air conditioning and so we left the windows open at night through the morning. There were trees right outside my window.
Overall, a wonderful story, and I am not saying that because I am married to the author.
