I am an MK (missionary kid) and mother of two grown children. Altho' my husband is Japanese (from Koriyama), and we speak Japanese at home, my education (elementary-university) has been in English, so most of my reading and writing is in English too. Last year, we moved to Okinawa and now live in the house my Dad built. I was born in Okinawa--it's been a long time, but I've come home...at last. 2025 August posts are publications put out by wildlife of a Saitama park in 2019.

RAVEN REVIEW issue 03 SaraFin&Coffee (SP)

 Raven Review, Special Issue 3, February 2019                  Leonard, editor

But the park is dead! The top of this pond is so frozen we crows can walk on it!” The egrets have flown away where it’s warmer. You can’t expect a “Raven’s Review” now, can you?Coffee the crow asked (photo above). After all, even Step Creek was frozen over (photo below). Old Man Tree can’t get his fingers in his own creek. But he had an idea, knew of a brave white carp called Sara Fin who could continue working even under ice.

Is that Sara Fin? (photo below).

He also knew that Sara Fin and Coffee had become friends (photo next page).

Who better to help distribute the Review until the egrets came back?

 

Besides, This issue is mostly to say,

“We miss you, white elegant feathered friends.”
