First off, this birthday post is WAY overdue. Weeks and weeks! Jude may be a teenager by now, for all we know. So, please accept our apologies, Jude. We hope that you have been diving right into enjoying your new year and haven’t been losing any sleep over our failure to properly acknowledge it.
In spite of the belated status of this post, it makes me very happy to share Jude’s birthday card with you today.
Here’s what Jude had to say about his drawing:
“Ecoan” is ocean. They are mountains under the ocean. Thanks!
I love the ocean of Ecoan. First of all, pointy mountains have always been my very favorite kind, though I wonder about the dark patch at the top of each one .I’m accustomed to pointy mountains being covered with snow at the top, but this seems like the opposite. Are the underwater mountains of Ecoan actually covered with chocolate sauce? Or squid ink? Or something else entirely?
Perhaps if I were floating in a bright red hot air balloon just above the surface of the ocean of Ecoan, I would be able to get a closer look. Maybe I would know for sure. Maybe Jude knows. Maybe he will tell us. Provided he’s not too upset about the lateness of this birthday post.
Though something tells me that Jude is a forgiving sort of fellow.
