I like how you got close ups of the animals. Sweet! I wake up every morning to a herd of ducks out of my kitchen door. They quack very loudly wanting me to come out and throw seed, which I do. It always tickles me and puts a smile on my face pre-coffee which is really saying something.

I only ask b/c the mouse looked like his. I understand that desire to see the illustrations that you saw a child, when the story didn't make as deep an impression as the pictures did! Glad you had such a great time with your little girls :) The messy doll closet! Argh -- brings back such memories! Kids are messy! Enjoy your November day. I may make pumpkin spice cookies too -- sounds like a good idea!M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-83455097228517722012014-11-06T07:47:28.501-08:002014-11-06T07:47:28.501-08:00Oh what fun!

One of my grands is homeschooling now and that would be a good way for her to tell time.<br /><br />I remember the Thumbelina book. Such a good one.<br /><br />I'm trying to finish up the last little bit of outdoor painting in November -- a granary door and a little spot above Granpa's front door.

Watching Christmas movies! <br />I'm also a cautious Granny, warning my grandgirls to be careful.

I should feed the pets first in the morning you know, as they probably all stare at you drinking coffee and make you feel really guilty with their big hungry eyes? Amber Cat does that to me - dogs are worse, they tend to do lipsmacking noises to make it clear they are hungry! if I ever get a dog I will choose one that doesn't lipsmack! I think you will need a rest and some aromatherapy after all that granny camp stuff!
