Random thoughts on random topics

1. This fellow, or gal, slowly passed by my site last night. Nice claws...There are lots of rabbits around also. Slow and steady wins the race?? I don't know of too many animals that would want to mess with this snapper! The rabbits, on the other hand, are quite popular with the coyotes.

.
2. I've been working on my walking sticks and sometimes one of them speaks out to me as to who should receive it. Back in March, my brother, Carl, was one of the winners in a quiz I ran on this blog, and the prize was one of my walking sticks. The stick that I thought would fit him best has some nice "diamonds" on it:


But, alas, there is a problem at the top of the stick.

It has begun to split. My question for Carl, who has experience working with wood, is can this be fixed? Or do I have to cut that section off?
.
3. I've always thought that one of the best toys for kids is a big empty cardboard box. A good box can keep them busy for hours and doesn't cost anything. Now I know a similar toy for hyper-active dogs, like Emma. My friend, Diana, suggested giving Emma an empty water bottle. I've done that a few times, and by golly it works! It crunches when they bite it, is light enough to throw around , and keeps them burning off some of that excess energy.




Not the greatest pictures, but Emma was moving too fast for the camera to keep up!

The sun actually came out late this afternoon! Hope it sticks around for awhile.

Thanks for stopping by....talk to you later, Judy

p.s. Thanks Myrddin for the hint about the paragraphs!
