"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater." (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Little Kitty, Big City is in the Chicago Field Museum cat exhibit, Cats: Predators to Pets!! This is the largest natural history museum in the world and I am so excited I am to be a part of this.

I don't have good pics yet, so if you are in Chicago and you plan to go to the museum, send me a pic!

“We can begin a whole new year together,” said Frog. “We will skip through the meadows and run through the woods. In the evenings we will sit right here on this porch and count the stars.”

“You can count them,” said Toad. “I’m going back to bed.”
