Birthday Bear

Today is my daughter Andrea’s 26th Birthday. It’s the first time I've not been with her on her special day, which is tough for me. I mailed her a card with a mother and baby koala on it.

Out my window at school are a row of gum trees. I just happened to look out this afternoon and there was a koala. She climbed up and down 4 trees.

When they walk on the ground their arms seem too long and awkward. When they climb trees they use their arms one at a time but their back legs move simultaneously. I mention this because I've only ever seen sleepy koalas in trees. This one must have been young and was active and alert.

Happy Birthday Andrea with love from me and the cute and cuddly koala!
