Happiness is A Bat...Pipistrello


I read a poem by D.H. Lawrence 'BAT', who unfortunately didn't like bats. I shared the same sentiments until my daughter got me to appreciate them on our bonfire nights. Although, I must admit I still do get a bit anxious when they fly a touch too low.

"Bats, and an uneasy creeping in one's scalp
As the bats swoop overhead!
Flying madly."


Lawrence also states in his poem that in China the Bat is a symbol of Happiness.Bat after all is a cat we must not forget but sometimes we do! I suppose half cat and half bat counts for all the happiness he's brought us 🦇🐈

Along came a bug on October 27th who almost didn't make it. The little bug though looked very much like a tiny bat and so he got the name Bat. Of course, we all have since gone batty ^..^


Couldn't wake up Bat but this other little witch-bird should be sleeping by now. 

Love Bats, Cats, and Halloween 🦇🎃🧹🐈


The Bat
by: Arthur Guiterman (1871-1943)


Airy-mouse, hairy mouse,
Keen-eared contrary mouse,
Come from your cavern--a star's in the sky!
Fluttering, flittering,
Eerily chittering,
Swoop on your quarry, the dusk-haunting fly.

Airy-mouse, wary mouse,
Witch-bird or fairy-mouse,
Soft through the shadow the dawn-glimmer steals;
Night's your carousing-time,
Day brings your drowsing-time;
Hence to your hollow and hang by your heels!

Go To Sleep, Darlings

Daisies in the Snow

Go to Sleep, Darlings...

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields...
It covers them snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, Go to Sleep, Darlings, till the summer comes again.” 

Lewis Carroll

~ The Loss of a Creature ~

TWO KIDS ASLEEP

And can it be that in a world
So full and busy,
The loss of one creature
Makes a void in any heart,
So wide and deep that nothing
But the width and depth of eternity
Can fill it up!

~Charles Dickens~


With much regret our dear furry creature has departed this world…
We miss you Elly xxxoooxxxooo RIP Elliot Domtar Belanger 11/22/2008




Em...
This is just a rough draft for Elly but I thought you might want to see it now, I also need his birthdate.

And in the hush of night
While you were sleeping,
Snow fell lightly upon the earth, weeping
And laced you a blanket of snowflakes white,

And all around my world,
Jolly plump snowmen grew
Beneath the twinkle of the lights in blue
My heart lost in the snowy silvery whirl
