As the end of April draws near, we reach that magical day when Nature Friday and Final Friday Fiction come together! Today I, Jakey, am going to tell you a story based on a recent walk I took along a forest trail!
This month's "page 87" is from Angel Bilbo's favorite book, The Hobbit, written by J.R.R. Tolkien.
-line 8 ~ as cold as death
-line 12 ~ because he was always thinking of the answer
-line 16 ~ the water if he could help it
Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the fun!!
It was a beautiful Spring day, not nearly as cold as it had been the day before, when Mama and I decided to hike along a forest trail.
I always love feeling the sun through the trees and seeing the shadows it makes on the trail.
We passed a few big redwood trees, and their trunks. This one even has moss growing on it!
Look at these leaves! They are almost as big as I am!
We stopped to enjoy a serenade by a pretty stream next to our trail...
The sound of the water is so relaxing, don't you think?
I also took the time to smell the flowers. I am always thinking how I should tell Arty and Rosy to slow down a bit more and enjoy nature. Most of the time they speed walk but I like to meander and enjoy all the great sights and smells!
Mama saw some pretty Forget Me Nots right next to the trail.
...and some little daisies!!
As we headed back to the car we saw this cute little Banana Slug crossing the trail...a sure sign it's going to be a wonderful weekend!!
Make sure to slow down and enjoy all the little things this weekend!!

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful trees and so appropriate as today is Arbor Day ... thank you for sharing all you saw on your wonderful walk in the woods!
ReplyDeleteWhat perfectly beautiful pictures to go with your story, Jakey! Mom read The Hobbit many years ago. She needs to re-read it!
ReplyDeleteWe always love to sniff around, but Mom is the speed walker on our team. No flowers here to see or smell, but they will come soon, I think. Such a pretty walk you had. Happy Weekend.

ReplyDeleteDear Prof Jakey PhD art.
ReplyDeleteYou for sure found a most inspiring tail for your walkie with mom. We all need to slow down so we can smell the posies. OMC/OMDs I have never in all my years heard of or seen a banana slug.
Angel Madi had a banana full of cat nip.
