You couldn't make this up.

Really interesting book. Highly recommend. Doesn’t come with fishing lures though

Ian Carter @iancarter67.bsky.social · 9h

I can’t help but pick up these fishing lures whenever I find them. These are mostly from the Solway strandline, at the edge of our Galloway glen. Our cocker spaniel once found, and almost swallowed, a baited hook, and the sorry story…

Just arrived in the mail and am looking forward to reading this. First learned of this book while watching someone read it on the El in Chicago for their entire trip. They hardly looked up. They just stayed focused and kept reading the whole time. That’s a good rec for me.

Hare is looking forward to the largest, brightest, full moon of the year (Nov 5th)
#FullMoon #BeaverMoon #SuperMoon #WhenBeastsSpoke #MoonGazingHare #Hare #WildlifeArt

HARE WAITED AS QUIET FELL OVER THE EARTH.
SHE FELT HERSELF CALM WITH THE FADING DAY.
MOON CAME TO JOIN HER, AND TOGETHER THEY SAT AND LISTENED TO THE STILLNESS
TOMORROW SHE'D BE WILD AGAIN, BUT TONIGHT SHE'D BE AS CALM AS THE WINTER AIR, AS SOFT AS THE SETTLING SNOW.

Good morning.

In episode 3 last night Grace describes her brother Hungry Paul like Winnie The Pooh. She means it as a slight insult but I think we should all be a bit more Winnie the Pooh.

One of the books that saved me.

The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff.

And here's L&HP too!

My nature writing-historical-memoiry mash-up, about pioneering, forgotten women & queer farmers has been out a month! Holed up with a broken leg (will be at Romsey Waterstones & Folde) but I’d love some cheer, shares, a review or stars on that Amzn site to help things along! #GhostsoftheFarm x

Wonderful wonderful tv. This is how fresh and great tv can be when they adapt from a superb book instead of rehashing the same tired old things.
Thank you Rónán Hession for writing this book and @ofmooseandmen.bsky.social for making that leap of faith to bring Leonard and Hungry Paul into the world
