A great novel is a kind of conversion experience. We come away from it changed. — Katherine Paterson, Gates of Excellence
Winnie Nielsen says: This looks like too many people crowded in one place to appeal to me! But I love books and don’t take enough time to enjoy and explore them more often. I also love the way libraries feel when you can go in and just browse the shelves and magazines.
What do you do when you find a tiny orphaned bunny under a hay bale? Why, you flick off your ball cap and carry it to a safer place.
Has anyone read Watership Down by Richard Adams?
OhMyGosh, I remember it well … the culture of the Bunny. And, now I know the pretty smile on the bunbun’s savior’s face :o)
Winnie Nielsen says: What a surprise to find! I hope the baby will thrive and be able to return to its family in due time. Good luck with the bunny orphanage!
Elizabeth says: Good grief, this is like kismet for you & me today as I too have a baby bunny in my garden. Only thing is the bunny in my backyard has eaten many of my heirloom plants:-( And yet I find myself here typing this as the little muncher lays quietly in my Vinca Vine??? I’ve scooted the bunny out of the yard so many times now I believe I’ll just let him rest there under his protector as he apparently has taken a liking to my garden angel & sleeps just behind her wings? Thanks for the tip on the book; I will check it out.
Pam` says: I’ve read Watership Down and it is very memorable. To me it game out as a paridy of the human race. Loads of things to think about. Good Book

Have you ever heard of the city of Solla Sollew?
It’s on the banks of the beautiful River Wah-Hoo, where they never have troubles …
at least, very few.
If you’re a Dr. Seuss fan (and, really, who isn’t?), then you may know the place I’m talking about.
MaryJane says: Like my husband says, “You do ruts well.” In other words, I have to choose my ruts carefully or I can get stuck in a bad place. Choose good ruts, that’s my new mantra.

School’s in session, girlfriends.
And I have a Glitterati Literati quiz for you.
This is brain-flexing fun—volleying verbiage, prettying plain prattle, gussying up glib gab.
(Say that last one five times fast!)
I do love …
Terry Steinmetz says: Thanks for the lesson which is also from my past. I remembered all but alliteration. Guess I’ll remember that now too.
Winnie Nielsen says: I got 6 out of the 8 correct. It was fun trying to see what I remembered from English classes which is quite dusty. I loved school and miss being part of the excitement of a new school year. We had a little school today MJF style! Thanks.
Ginney Camden says: I had forgotten about onomatopoeia. What a fun quiz!

American Robins’ are wonderful birds; a pair usually nest in or really close to my garden each year. The parent Robins seem to take turns flying into my garden patch & pluck/pound away at the ground until they pull up a protein filled mouthful for their little nestlings. During the Robins’ nesting time it’s like a non-stop delicatessen here. Although just recently I was moving some of the plant filled containers around in the garden & became absorbed with a project where I was removing a miniature Dogwood tree (that is no longer miniature:-) out of the extra large container & into the ground. As I worked on this project I could see birds flying into the garden but was too busy with my project to look up. When I finally looked about a dozen songbirds flew out from this one patch of newly exposed dirt; seems I uncovered a multitude of delicious treats for our flying friends.
Looks like your Robin caught their meal on the wing; I’ve watched Robins’ do this with moths before & the big eyed~awkward flying~green thingamagiggies? Sorry, I forgot the name…?
And does not the splendid gentleman look proud of himself?
