I thought today should be full of easy enjoyments, and good cheer. I’ll start with the photos from the t-shirt sales of our friends in Scotland who are trying to save the free beavers of the river Tay.
Pretty cute huh? One of their members recently posted a picture of a chewed tree that the Angler society called “Suspected beaver damage”.It made me giggle so much I had to do this in response.
Now that was fun! Speaking of chewed trees, Jon unwrapped the willows we planted in 2008 and they have now all been felled and eaten! We’ll be talking about doing a 2011 planting tomorrow at the Friends of Alhambra Creek Meeting. If you’d like to donate your labor, organization, or spare change, the beavers would appreciate it!
A final bit of enjoyment for a Monday morning (that is a holiday for many but not for me because I’ve taken TOO many days off to go to Oregon). I just found this on youtube and can’t remember seeing it before. It’s delightful. I love that the beaver is an old man. I don’t suppose Disney knew that the native name for beaver of the Karuk tribe in northernmost California is sah-pihnîich which translates literally to “by-the-River Old-man”. Perfect!
