Stuffed planet Venus, made for me by my dear mother, around 1974.

  • Oh my!! Where did you find this?! An item of the long-ago past! Do notice the before sunrise conjunctions of the four planets in the east this month. First to rise is Saturn at 4:32am, then Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. The sun will rise about 6:44am. Oh my!! Could that larger red piece be the US? If you turn the “planet” around then I see the Earth.(?)

    • It was one of the three or four stuffed toys I kept when I donated all the rest. Rosemary kept a few boxes for me when I was living in the dorm in Toronto. I think I helped cut those clouds.
