The hours
to come would later proof to be more than magical..they would be epic…!
This, our Dutchess and Miss Moussie didn’t
know yet…but, now, dear reader and friend, YOU know..so hold on to this book
and read on..
After Miss Moussie
did catch her breath she was able to tell The Dutchess what she had just found on the Hilltop..
-A scent
you say..really, did I understand you
correctly..you found something smelly..said the Dutchess surprised..
-
Yes..Squeaked Miss Moussie exited…LIKE BEAR..!
…The summer
breeze hushed.. the birds paused in their
flight and song, and with the butterflies they fluttered by, in slow motion..curious…listening.
The word
BEAR changed the entire atmosphere in the garden ..it became very
quiet..like…maybe like a quiet before a
storm..
-Is
he..could it..can it be….really HIM, whispered the Dutchess ?
-I know its
him, squeaked Miss Moussie softly…there
is no one that smelly. I mean…well, (and there she giggled).
-Then, my
dear Miss M, we can expect him any minute now..!
-I believe
we can dearest Dutchess..I believe we can…O my goodness…so many things to do so
little time..I must assemble a welcome
home comity..
The
stillness in the garden became now noticeable..even for the Dutchess and Miss
Moussie in their enthusiasm … Clouds gathered.. the hot summer day changed into a summer evening that wrapt itself around
the Hilltop inhabitants like a moist cloak…
-This heat
is too heavy for a delicate creature like myself..squeaked Miss Moussie..I just
can’t think straight ..there’s a fog
rising..
-In your mind darling..?
-No, look…over
the Pond and beyond……it looks very suspicious. One can never trust a fog !
-Heavens,Yes..it
looks kind of greenish! We better go
inside dear…
A storm is rising..
And so they
did…a Dutchess and a Mousse. Together waiting for what was coming next…
At the Pond
a strange fog waved over the white water lilies ..the surface of the water rippled.
A green creature appeared. A frog in the fog…It was Gustave coming to check on the
weather. But after a quick glance he
dived back into the water…heading for the deep…to be safe...

You have me very curious about what is coming......can't wait to read the rest of this story!
AHHHHHHHHH! I am finally here! I just went over to visit you to tell you I took some wonderful photos, but HERE, HERE I find Penny AND Miss Moussie! You can always count on a mouse and her instincts, her sense of smell to tell whether the weather is going to deliver a friend, or foe? The plot thickens, and I'm here, all ears...this is SO great to see you back again! Never leave us dearest, never.
How exciting your story is making me want More!
Love
Maggie
