WKBT channel 8 in LaCrosse Wisconsin wants you to appreciate the Myrick Park marsh trail in winter. Click on the image to go see how much. If you stay all the way through there’s a cheerful surprise at the end. If it doesn’t make you laugh out loud, think of it as a quiz.
The Marsh in Winter
Did you see it? No telling. Shh. Crazy that you’re allowed to trap 50 feet from the tail there, better be careful if you’re taking your dog for a walk. I knew there was a reason we lived in California. But do you think every time we see the ‘wildlife viewing area’ sign it means wildlife trapping area too?
I had fun begging for beaver necklaces yesterday and got two immediate positive responses. I’m gun shy about using Etsy so I’m saving it for later. (If you’ll remember they suspended my account last year because I was too effective.) Aren’t these lovely?
First, from Esther at “Winterchild jewelry” this lovely image which can be on necklaces or earrings.
She writes about the beaver:
Beavers are animals I have a lot of respect for. I admire their remarkable work ethic, their ability to actually construct dams and lodges and especially their tightly knit family unit. I’m sure you’ll agree that the seconds between catching sight of a beaver and hearing the sharp slap of its tail on the water is truly delightful!
Thanks Esther Winter for your generosity and talent! Follow the links to see her other fine work.
Next it’s a pewter beaver birth totem from Laura Johnston at Le animale.
Carry le industrious beaver with you and build your dreams into a reality.
Of course everyone knows that beaver make dreams come true, so that seems very sound advice! Go check out her many spirit animals here and thank you Laura for your generosity!
Let me know if you see anything covetous out there and I’ll do my best to add it to the auction!
