Chestnut

Nipper's city home

I picked up this book called "Chestnut" for Lil Fairy Granddaughter. I read it to her on the steps of the city house.....
"Nipper's House", (pictured below) a book I read to her several months ago. (this is where the little dog lived while on visits to the country)

amazon

I've found a few historical children's books about Charleston. She absolutely delights in seeing pictures of buildings and water and streets and houses that are right here, in her view and on our adventures.

As you can see---Tansy and one of her friends came along, LOL!

Great illustrations of Charleston!!

the familiar streets we walk

this owl perches up on Nipper's house, high on a balcony

I know she loved this book because she kept on reading and reading and reading.......as she walked. I had to keep a good eye on her not to trip or something! ha ha LOL

I couldn't decide which of these two pictures I liked best....so I'm putting them both on here! ha ha

books and Barbies! LOL

We give Chestnut an A plus.......a Ten out of Ten!!

I so love to see you with your precious Granddaughter! What a blessing she is and such a fun age to enjoy the holidays. I'll look for these books at my library so that I can read them too. Sending you sweet holiday hugs...and lots of them! Your blog buddy, Diane (looks like we are both going to get to wear sweaters tomorrow! heehee)

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
