What is That? Wednesday: Celebration of Flight by Ibex Puppetry

So when you think of puppets, you think of hand puppets, right?  

Wait until you see this puppet video!

They look like kites, don't they?  

I want to make a dragonfly puppet like that!

(By the way, you know Jim Henson, right?  He did The Muppets!  His daughter Heather created the IBEX Puppetry company, which you watched above.  Pretty cool, right?)

BILL THOMAS: Have a Good Day!

New blog design! This deserves a new post...

Bonjour all!

It's late at night where I am now, but I couldn't wait another second to post because the Captain gave our blog a 

brand new look!!  I love it.  He likes steampunk design, so we're going to try it out here and see how everyone likes it.

Yaaawwwwnnnn....it's been a big, crazy day here at the Acres.  I've been bringing in most of the harvest from my garden before it gets too cold out, still working on my unicycle skills, and teaching my cat Erma how to play fetch.

Time for bed...goodnight all...see you again very soon!

They Might Be Thursday: Kids Go! by They Might Be Giants

......
.........knock, knock.

knock. KNOCK.

KNOCK KNOCK!

Yes, yes....I'm coming!  So sorry to have kept you waiting.  

What?

WHAT??

I haven't updated this blog since the middle of August??!!?

sigh.

That's unacceptable... I am sorry, my faithful blog-reading Kangaroonies!   

Let me apologize with a  
They Might Be Giants video 
to make it all better.....

See?  Now we're bouncing and dancing all crazy-like and my lack of updates has been completely forgiven....

Right?

Whew...good.  Thank you.

See you soon...

Tale Spinner Tuesday: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

Hello again!

Thought I'd forgotten you, right?  

Nope, I've been busy, the Cap's been busy, but we're still here!

I want to share one of my most favorite stories from when I was a little caribou...it's a little sad too, so you may want to grab some tissues.  But it's really, really good...and this video happens to feature the author, Shel Silverstein, reading the story:

Take some time this week to relax...lay in the grass, watch the clouds, count the stars.  Or snuggle up to your favorite tree.  :)

Tale Spinner Tuesday: IT'S A BOOK by Lane Smith

CAN IT TEXT? BLOG? SCROLL? WI-FI? TWEET? 
No. . . It's a book.

And that's okay! :)

I love books...I mean, I really, really love them.  I read as often as I'm able.  

Why?  

Because with a book, I can go on an adventure, I can learn, I can laugh, and I can become ANYONE I want to be.  Sometimes when I'm reading a really good book, I lose track of time.  Oops!  I was late once (or maybe twice...) for a meeting with the Captain because of a book.  He understood though.  He loves books himself and he has the most oh-so-BEAUTIFUL library.

What is your favorite book?
