Shenanigans!

Today, well yesterday (Thursday) to be exact , I was cleaning in Ruby's stall when Trilly (goat) ran through the paddock and out to the other side of the new fencing I just put up (to keep them away from the Weeping Pine). The other goats ran to the opposite side of the fence and were calling out to Trilly. Since they were right outside the stall gate, I went out and moved the fence to let him back over, turned around, and there was Ruby, outside and ready to take off! Luckily I was able to turn her around (no halter on) and head her back in before she took flight. 

I think it was a conspiracy to set her free. Maybe Acrid Hermit put them up to it so that he could have another horse-tracking adventure!

The night watch toad:

This little guy sits at the opening of the garage door at night and keeps the bears out. I will ask Acrid Hermit if he knows the toad's secret to keeping the bears away. (Is that a mosquito in front of him? Maybe his midnight snack!)

(June 26th): Acrid Hermit tells me that, "The toad was hopping through the woods on an early spring day when he heard a half-hiberbnating bear complaining about the bugs buzzing in his ears. Seeing the toad, the bear begged him to eat the bugs, and the toad said, 'I'll do you this favor if you promise that you will do one for me.'"

Yes, this forest is misty

...in the morning.

 So, is the book named after the farm? Or is the farm named after the book? (Misty Forest Fables by Acrid Hermit - link soon to be added to blog)

Come visit and find out for yourself! Maybe you can find Sally Sally Salamander, Spider, the spoiled princess, the great Oak tree, fairy flies, and maybe, just maybe, the walking man (I heard that he might be traveling tho'). It could even be possible to spot Acrid Hermit wandering through the woods, chatting with the inhabitants.

If it is truly the real Misty Forest, from where the fables came, perhaps you will even find Evolecaep!
