The atmospheric
conditions have been uncomfortable lately and today is Windsday.
A very blustery Windsday, not a mild spring
zephyr but the kind of Windsday
that can blow a piglet right up into the sky
like a kite.
So my morning
walk took me away from open and blustery places
and instead along the path
through the Hundred Acre Wood.
Even the early
birds were hunkered down out of the unmild spring zephyr.
Down by the
river I noticed that something--(perhaps a Hefalump?)
had taken a rather large
bite out of a tree.
Another tree had
been chewed in half. Most certainly a
sign of Hostile Animals!
Large chunks of
wood were scattered about.
The fallen trees
were all pointing toward the water--
or perhaps the East Pole where the Honey Stealing Woozles live.
These most certainly look like
Woozle tracks.
Hmmm maybe even
a Woozle party. Yes, and they’ve been partying with the ducks.
This could be a
Woozle swimming quickly away.
But after seeing
the wide tail and the pointy ears I think it is a beaver.
Whew! Not
a Hostile Animal after all.
This must be a
New Age beaver. He is using new fangled;
recycled materials for his beaver lodge.
Or maybe the blue tarp is just temporary to keep out the weather until
his roof is finished.

On the way home
I saw this sign.
I’m thinking a cement
pizza crust would be even harder than the cardboard kind.
I have no idea
how this is done.
And that is
really the end of the story, and I am very tired after that long walk.
I think I’ll stop here.
really cute. :) full of whimsy.
ReplyDeletePooh is one of my favorite characters in all of literature. My BFF sign off on texts with "TTFN".
ReplyDeleteHow very bizarre that the beavers would use the tarp in that way. Perhaps they are more evolved than we give them credit?
I am always amazed at the variety of wildlife in your neighbourhood. Beavers-how exciting-and Woozles-well!
ReplyDeleteI like his blue covered house-looks a bit like part of my garden!
As for cement pizza and frozen hot chocolate-no wonder you are tired!
You crack me up. Rest my friend I wish I had been there to see all the excitement. Beautiful shots of trees or wood or both love it. I am a sucker for wood. :)B
ReplyDeletehahahaha! We've been enjoying our share of Windsdays here too! And I hate wind. Yes, I said hate. But your description of your adventure made me like your windy day. Thanks for the smile!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I sense a master of sarcasm. :-) The last sign really made me laugh! Love your robin shot, by the way, Leenie! Nice lighting.
ReplyDeleteA blue tarp? Clearly this Beaver has started shopping at the home depot for building materials.
ReplyDeleteThat was some party! I think Cat in the Hat might have been there, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm still puzzling over frozen hot chocolate ......
ReplyDeleteJapanese silviculture workers should actively hire foreign labor like a beaver.
ReplyDeleteblustery weather here too..no flying pigs have been sighted. Love your capture of the new age beaver hut..and the signs:)
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie, what wonderful pictures ya have captured there. I had to laugh...I've never seen a beaver dam with a FEMA roof! Heeehehehehe!!!
ReplyDeleteThe signs are a hoot and a half girl!
God bless ya and have a magnificent weekend from the happy hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa! :o)
I love Winnie the Pooh, so this trip was delightful. I was VERY surprised at the blue tarp...and people think animals are dumb! HA

Having just been to the dentist, I wish I had teeth as strong as a beaver! I wonder if they ever crack a tooth. Enjoyed your post Leenie.
