Well, Twiggy. Looks like a good day to be outside.” “Yeah. I looked out the front and no wind.” “There’s no wind in the back either.” “Dear reader. Do I even need to respond?” “So what do you say to a game of tug-o-war?” “I think that would be fun.” “You know to play, you […]

Thursday – A Little Personal – Tempeste Makes a Break for It.

“You know Twiggy. I’ve been thinking.” “Pretty dangerous stuff, Tempest.” “I’m serious. I want to get outside that fence and see the real world.” “That fence keeps you from eating everything on the ground.” “So I’m told. I believe it keeps me from developing my full potential.” “You keep eating sticks and leaves, and you […]

Thursday – A little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste as Puma and Panther.

“Want to play Puma and Panther?” “I’m always up for that game.” “Want to switch? I can be the panther, and you the puma?” “Wait a minute. Look at my color. How would that work?” “You would have to imagine that you were a puma.” “That would be hard since I have invested so much […]

“Twiggy. Dad opened the yard. Want to go play?” “Still pretty hot for me.” “It isn’t even a hundred. What’s the problem?” “No problem. I just like to go out when it’s cooler.” “Well, okay. I’m going out to see what’s what.” “Okay. I thought you and Mom were going to the plant store.” “We […]

Tempeste. Look out the window, there is a lot to see.” “I like to keep things under control by looking down.” “This is a great park. Let’s go to the chess players.” “What are chess players?” “It’s a sculpture of two beings involved in a chess game.” A game of chest. That sounds odd.” “It […]
