I forgot a book which belongs in this pile - Silence and Honey Cakes, written by Rowan Williams. I'm liking it WAY more than I expected to.
Monastery and High Cross is about something which may surprise you. From the back cover:
"It is a little-known fact that there were Christians in Ireland before St. Patrick. In 2006, an astonishing discovery was made in Ireland. Found by accident in a peat bog [of course, a peat bog - where else?] was an early medieval Irish manuscript with Egyptian papyrus in the binding of the manuscript? How did that get there?"
How, indeed? Connie Marshner, the author, will tell me how.
My brother called to me this morning: Come quickly with your camera - there's a woodchuck eating a carrot!
He was right near the house, close to the bird feeder. We are still throwing carrots outside for the rabbits some nights, and I'd just been wondering who else would eat a carrot.
He was a good-sized one.
These creatures are also called groundhogs. They don't ever chuck wood, that I know of.
How much wood
Would a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck
Could chuck
Wood?
