Tortoise Cat Walking The Big One
Tortoise Cat's Autumn Sun Bath In The Rock Garden
Tortoise Cat: Sun rays on the fur during a bath - how wonderful! Why does the Big One bathe in water? I tried the water bath method and I don't get it!
Chameleon: Just savor these breezy, sunshiny, autumn days, Tortoise Cat. They feel like brief moments but they go deep. There is a chill in the air already, and all too soon your backyard world will be snowbound.
Tortoise Cat: How will the Big One keep this amazing rock garden--this Big One 'toy'--safe over the winter?
Chameleon: A plan is in the works...Wait and see. We are going to install a bird feeder nearby too. The Big One will do the work and I will watch, encourage, and inspire.
Tortoise Cat: You and the Big One are so good to me!
Chameleon: Oh. The seeds are for the birds, Tortoise Cat.
Tortoise Cat: Will the Big One scatter some of the seeds on the ground for Mouse and Squirrel and and throw carrots nearby for Rabbit too?
Chameleon: Oh, how thoughtful and kind you are, Tortoise Cat to worry over the welfare of those who creep and crawl, even though you can't help hunting them. The Big One wants to minimize the seed shell mess. But we shall dream up a restaurant for your flightless friends too.
Tortoise Cat: Purrfect. Even if I can't catch 'em, I can watch 'em!
