Foxwalk
Basket Swing
Young human, Floradora and a bat-eared fox went for a walk in our neighbourhood. They found a convenient branch to hang the basket on to have a little swing.

…we stopped at a “little Free Library” where the human and the small human found some books to read. Floradora read a story about the snow fairy to the bat-eared fox…

Quimper Hittys 
It’s a perfect bat-eared fox! He probably loves to get read to.
It is a perfect Bat-eared Fox! Young human has a discerning eye, I think! Being read to is lovely!
that is a very interesting Bat Eared Fox…and being read to is always a joy.
The Hittys love being read to, and so they learned to love reading out loud, I was delighted to see Floradora being so sweet to the fox, who is a long way from home!
What a true to life/wood description of that “fox”. Sounds like the walk was full of more creativity and enjoyment.
There is truly never a dull moment if that moment is spent with the young human and her imagination!
Love finding treasures in nature. The bat-eared fox is the perfect example. Loved this story.
It is so delightful to participate in young human’s adventures – she is a jolly companion, and finds interesting things, and tells stories about them! I am so lucky!
Heart melting! What a lovely walk and how wonderful to find a new friend who was just waiting for stories!
Bat-eared Fox spent most of the walk being carried, either in the basket or wrapped in the cosy quilt – I was informed that Victoria is a long way from Fox’s warm desert home, and besides it had no legs!
oh, look at the lichen on the branch – great for dyeing wool. The young human has a wonderful imagination. I gather Floradora is bilingual, looks like a good book.
Young human is in French Immersion at school – she pounced upon the Snow Fairy book – just the same as the ones she has in her class! All the fairies are different colours of the rainbow! She must be teaching the Hittys – I am bilingual but not in French. We had a long discussion about lichens and mosses, and the differences between them, but the subject of dyeing never came up – I’ll have to mention it.
dyeing with lichens is easy – no mordant needed, nice gold /orange colours.
