Walking with William.

It was such a lovely evening that William and I went for a walk on the bluff. Foxsun was following us about, but as we started our uphill climb of the north face Foxsun decided he'd stay behind. Later I found out it was not only due to lack of energy but also he wanted to find out if my flowers tasted as good as they looked.

Soon things got interesting and I discovered a new species (to me). William who's about to start his third year of University and is incredibly bright, informed me it was the Queen Ant.


William is an history major by the way..lol. Anyway for one glorious moment I imagined we had the Queen of all the Ants living on our bluff.



I have to take pictures of Williams back....


..... because when he sees the camera he does things like this....


and other things that cannot be put here.

It was a lovely walk.


I showed him 'badger alley' where all the badgers do their best digging. I was going to give him a demonstration of my badger fighting skills using my walking sticks (complete with compasses in the handles). I asked him if he knew what to do in case of a badger attack (badgers are vicious) and he answered, "Stop, drop and roll"?

When we got some distance from our house we went to the edge of the bluff to take in the view. We could make out the dark shape of Foxsun near the backdoor. I noted that from where we were at it looked almost like Foxsun had his head buried in my flower bed. lol.

I was walking pretty good because I was drugged up to my eye balls. So I started to show off by walking fast. William told me I ought to slow down and added, "You're like a Russian rocket ship, the faster you go, the faster you fall apart". I'm going to miss him so much!
