He that lives with hope dances without music.






I wander downstairs, pick up the car keys and there, unbidden, are the two PON's. Sophie lets out a yelp of delight as we head out of the front door. '' Croissant time ! "

At the hardware store all the plastic Easter animals have gone except for two terrifying luminescent pugs, one purple lamb and a small lime green rabbit that some might find adorable.There's no accounting for taste.

Owner and PON's look at garden tractors. Time to replace the 'gem' that the previous residents of The Rickety Old Farmhouse sold us at a vastly inflated price.  Angus looks at the sticker and decides we'll come back again next week. Thankfully, Bob waits until we're outside in the car park before he does his tyre christening routine.

10 pm. The PON duo find the two hedgehogs that were 'exiled' the night before. How did the hedgehogs find their way back ? Where is the hole in the fence ? From the noise Sophie makes it can be assumed that she has discovered that hedgehogs have spines. Drama and Sophie go together.

You seem to have an uncanny ability to recognize hedgehogs. They all look the same to me.

I love that room. The clock, the painting, the lamps. It's all just beautiful.

But please tell me there is a bust on the table in the dining room, because if not that is beyond spooky!

Don't worry - it's a bust that's just getting the early morning light under the window at the end of the library .

What a beautiful home you have! Such elegance! (-and that's just the PONs!)

Angus said...

And every inch of it chewed .

Did you ever discover where Sophie found the floor tile a while back?

Heavenly light of morn is falling.....it's croissant time!!! I'm with the Bob and Sophie....no need to call me for croissants either, wherever they are, I'm there.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Angus said...

Yes. She'd excavated it from the floor of the garage. Clever girl ?

Fluro Easter ornaments for the person in your life you don't really like. Can't think of any other reason they'd be purchased.

XXXOOO Bella & Roxy

I put the luminescent lawn ornaments below the hot-pink-flamingos that people have in their yards here--Have you ever seen them?
