The next day, I discovered unmistakable mouse droppings in a kitchen drawer. That evening, we saw the little buggar..an absolutely adorable, and quite ( Read more... )

"...Your destiny is a mystery to us. What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered? The wild horses tamed? What will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the ripe hills are blotted by talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone! Where will the eagle be? Gone! And what is it to say goodbye ( Read more... )
