Happy Pagan Fertility Holiday

Peter Rabbit

After the near fatal mistake in Mister McGregor's garden a whole new world opened up to Peter.

Wordless Wednesday

A Certain Yearning...

Remember that feeling? For me it's Jane Austen; oh, if only I could read it all again. For the first time!

About Horses

As I mentioned in the previous post I grew up with lots of animals around. But the horse was the one for me. When he came to live with us Robin was 22 years old and I was 4. My parents didn't even consider allowing me to ride at that age and all I wanted was to be near him. So I spent four years just hanging out with this amazing creature and learning some deep lessons of love and patience. I'm telling you all this because I have a rare horse cartoon coming up. And I do mean rare. Something about being mentored by a horse has left me reverent but not very playful when it comes to equines. It's a personal blind spot, I think, but once in a while I get one off.

Cartoon For A Rainy Day

I grew up in a household with many cats and a barn full of chickens, pet rabbits, two cows and a horse. I was lucky to always have someone to love and I remember feeling deeply sorry for kids who were pet-less. So for all the Moms and Dads out there who are holding out, reconsider. It doesn't have to be a dog; even a lowly hermit crab can be a friend.
