Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! The Flat Creek walkway has clumps of debris still, and lots of sand and rocks on the flats across from the paved walk (which shows no damage from Hurricane Helene.) However as you walk further up the creek, you come to the mobile homes which survived, or didn't, the rising waters.

Some critters, literary and otherwise


By Jackie Morris...probably a hare. But for first of the month, I'll say rabbit rabbit...because really, hare, hare just doesn't have the right ring to it!


He needs no introduction...many a lawn will be showing his cousins soon! Probably related to Inge's town mascot, Henry.

A Mad Hatter and a March Hare, plus a door-mouse, entertain Alice for a tea party. But the White Rabbit will appear soon saying "I'm late, I'm late!" From the original illustrations for Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

And then there was the Cheshire Cat!

Illustrator E. H. Shepard drew this for a limited edition book bag. Jan. 18 is Pooh Day


Some very happy barn cats!

I'm pretty sure this is really Beatrix Potter and one of her little rabbit friends.



On a lake walk last Saturday I met Sophie, when I paused to figure out how to get across a muddy patch. She and her walker waited for me, so I asked if I could take her photo. She was a beautiful and well behaved (probably 7 year old rescued) grey bull dog. I thought of my friend Cathy's former white and brown bulldog, now gone. Cathy has a new mutt who is part sheep dog, a big difference!


Sharing with Eileen's Saturday Critters 



Today's quote:

In The Trees, Conrad Richter wrote: "Everywhere she went the trees stood around her like a great herd of dark beasts. Up and up shot the heavy butts of the live ones. Down and down every which way on the forest floor lay the thick rotting butts of the dead ones. Alive or dead, they were mostly grown over with moss. The light that came down here was dim and green. All day even in the cabin you lived in a green light."


Today's art (though several other artists have already been  on this post!)
