Our Thotful Spot

[Dianthus]

They had come to a stream which twisted and tumbled between high rocky banks, and Christopher Robin saw at once how dangerous it was.
“It’s just the place,” he explained, “for an Ambush.”
“What sort of bush?” whispered Pooh to Piglet. “A gorse-bush?”
“My dear Pooh,” said Owl in his superior way, “don’t you know what an Ambush is?”
“Owl,” said Piglet, looking round at him severely, “Pooh’s whisper was a perfectly private whisper, and there was no need—”
“An Ambush,” said Owl, “is a sort of Surprise.”
“So is a gorse-bush sometimes,” said Pooh.

I have been Ambushed.

would a hedge trimmer help for an Am-bush?

Depends. Did the hedge trimmer go pro?

Pro-Am

Where DOES your mind go, B?

sometimes it wanders about for days before coming home - never tells me where its been, tho

maybe it goes to Canada - I heard that's where all the lost socks go

Odd...I have more lost socks than anyone I know and I live here.

If I find their commune, I have a word or two to say!

So many choices on a sunny Saturday!

I could spend a happy morning
Seeing Roo,
I could spend a happy morning
Being Pooh.
For it doesn’t seem to matter,
If I don’t get any fatter
(And I don’t get any fatter)
What I do.

My all-time favorite Milne Pooh passage:

"Tigger is all right really," said Piglet lazily.
"Of course he is," said Christopher Robin.
"Everybody is really," said Pooh. "That's what I think," said Pooh.
"But I don't suppose I'm right," he said.
"Of course you are," said Christopher Robin.

You could substitute any names into that passage and it would still make such good sense.

"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?"
"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.
Piglet was comforted by this.


Happy Saturday!

"Christopher Robin came slowly down his tree.
“Silly old Bear,” he said, “what were you doing? First you went round the spinney twice by yourself, and then Piglet ran after you and you went round again together, and then you were just going round a fourth time—”
“Wait a moment,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, holding up his paw.
He sat down and thought, in the most thoughtful way he could think. Then he fitted his paw into one of the Tracks…and then he scratched his nose twice, and stood up.
“Yes,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
“I see now,” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
“I have been Foolish and Deluded,” said he, “and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”
“You’re the Best Bear in All the World,” said Christopher Robin soothingly.
“Am I?” said Pooh hopefully. And then he brightened up suddenly.
“Anyhow,” he said, “it is nearly Luncheon Time.”
So he went home for it."


Time for a little Something.

They are!!! And lots of them are tasty.

This is true! Honey is also quite tasty... which reminds me of this sweet quote...

"A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside."

Atticus, he was real nice…”

His hands were under my chin, pulling up the cover, tucking it around me. “Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.”


just a thot of mine, Mr. Sanders...

A good thought, B.


"First of all," he said, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

I post these on behalf of a less-resizing-adept Litster.

But I'll claim them, too, because they're humorous, and very... Pooh.

I like this one 'cause it's vaguely sadistic.

In case you hadn't seen this... I had to share it.

Thank you, CiC. I loved it!
