The REAL Mrs. Tiggy-winkle

What makes summer so nice here? Well, there has to be SOMETHING! As fall sets in (okay, really for here it's almost winter!) I like to look back, and think of my favorite things about summer. We had lots of campfires along the water (with marshmallows), went stargazing with the telescope a few times, enjoyed fresh chard and grapes from the garden, went to the village several times and drank fresh milk, and ran across these cuddly little friends right in our own yard.
As we were clearing out the weeds one day, we undercovered Mama and her 3 little ones hudddled together. We stopped out work, took some shots, then let them to be hoping they'd move on. Sure enough, by morning they were gone, but we have such nice memories of the REAL Mrs. Tiggy-winkle visiting us this summer. Who knows maybe my new hankies will turn up yet...

Hi,

Enjoy the little things of life. It seems to fly by so... fast. Careful of unpasteurized milk . I've seen TB of the stomach. Not good. A blogger now, you're a modern girl for sure.

An old, and getting older,

Your summer fun sounds great. I love campfires.

I'm am reading The Tale of Hill Top Farm by Susan Wittig Albert, set in the Lakes Dist. It's a fictional story about the author of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle and is really a very good book.
