In Memory Of...
.. Brian Jacques....
He was my favorite author. I read all of his book at least 5 times each. He had a way with words like no other author.
He passed away on February 5, of a fatal heart-attack.
He has written over 20 books. He finished one just before he passed away.

"A hare for gluttony and selfless bravery, a mole for good sense and dependability, a mouse for fearless courage""Don't be ashamed to weep; 'tis right to grieve. Tears are only water, and flowers, trees, and fruit cannot grow without water. But there must be sunlight also. A wounded heart will heal in time, and when it does, the memory and love of our lost ones is sealed inside to comfort us."
"So here is my story, may it bring
Some smiles and a tear or so,
It happened once upon a time,
Far away, and long ago,
Outside the night wind keens and wails,
Come listen to me, the Teller of Tales!"
"Shake paws, count your claws,
You steal mine, I'll borrow yours.
Watch my whiskers, check both ears.
Robber foxes have no fears.
"Step aside? I step aside for nobeast, whether it be a hallowed hedgehog, an officious otter, a seasoned squirrel, a mutterin' mole or a befuddled badger!"

COLD.
Okay, maybe not THHAAAT cold, but it's pretty stinkin cold here.
When I woke up this morning at around.... 8:34 (yes, I slept in a bit) the temperature was 25.
Now that for us hot-house-plant people down here, is reallllllllly cold.
I went outside to see how our early spring flowers were doing.. Not so well.. Our pretty white iris froze and flopped over, and our narcissus's were all droopy looking.
Our birds down here are probably thinking an ice age is on its way.
Hey!! It's Groundhog day today!! So come on all you groundhogs! Start poppin up out of the ground and let us know how many more days of winter we have!! :)
