Oh my! Here it's near four years after my last post here! The whole Mutiny On Noach's Ark is finished, and I do NEED to take time to post all here!
Butt, I'm trying to make a new life with a new page and new business and new Me! Come over to my FaceBook page and pay a visit. It's not that I'm so lonely, but I do miss my children and their mom who all took the hardships of me and listened to people who do not love them or me then abandoned their home and me. Is Life fair?

Yes! Life is fair enough, it's the people in it that stink!
Anyway, if I can not stink that's one less bad odor to deal with:-)
Love you all,
Claude, Dad, Widower, and maybe soon hubby.

Miss Little Red Riding Wolffe: Book Second; Blog Post 4
All the Otter Family led horse and rider along the top of the high bank, down stream. In about a mile, a loud roar from the stream rose from a water fall, but the side they traveled on was beginning to have a less steep slope down to the stream.
"The pathway down is right there!," little Joshua Otter said. He pointed to a very small. otter-sized path going down from the bank almost at Mr. Neigh!'s feet. Below them, the stream fell over a high cliff, but the path the otters now took was less steep, where it went down the bank to the stream below. The trouble for Mr. Neigh! was, it was too small for a horse!
But, he wanted to please his sweet little friend, so he decided to try to take her safely down the bank. He didn't know he was about to meet an ancient enemy he had only instinctual memories about. He had never in his long life met such a creature!
"Ugh!" Mr. Neigh! got so stuck halfway down that narrow little path, it's a miracle we now have the strange story that is coming up shortly!
"Humfp! Huff! Huff! Huh-umpf! He grunted as he tried to get past the thick Iron Bush that had caught him. It was impossible to go back up the path, and he could not budge past this miserable bush! "I'm afraid I got myself stuck!, Mr. Neigh! said. He looked up at Miss Riding Wolffe. "I don't know what to do."
"Oh, silly Mr. Neigh!," cried Riding Wolffe. You didn't ask Heavenly Father to show you what to do, yet! Go ahead, ask Him!"
"Oh," Mr. Neigh! replied, he was embarrassed. " I will, right now!"
"My Father in Heaven," he said, "I'm sorry, but I didn't remember to talk to You for guidance - again! Is it too late to help me now?"
What happened next you might be tempted to think was impossible, or just in funny stories about a little wolf pup who gets into all sorts of adventure, it REALLY DID HAPPEN, Just this way!
When Mr. Neigh! finished speaking, the earth shook! In Seattle, there are a number of breaks in the earth rock, way underneath the water, the meadows, and even the mountains! Every so often, Father in Heaven adjusts the deep rocks, and the whole area above shakes!
Right then, when Mr. Neigh! was thinking he would spend the rest of his life on earth stuck in that iron bush, half way down the ravine bank, Mr. Neigh! was shaken loose by an earth quake! But, so were some rocks and earth above him! They all tumbled and rolled to the bottom of that ravine faster than you can blink at the surprise!
As the falling rocks and earth went by them, the path was cleared, and the way down became a soft landing for Mr. Neigh!. Even the Otter Family scrambled out of the way of the falling earth and rocks!
But even more surprises were waiting! One of the otters noticed that a wide hole had formed at the top of the waterfall, where now a lake was growing. Just past it, near the top of the waterfall, the stream was very shallow, where Mr. Neigh! could easily walk across. The rest of the stream was in a deep cut through solid rock, with sides too steep for Mr. Neigh! to enter the water, and get out on the other side.
However, he was just about to meet his longtime, ancient nemesis(You might want to look up 'nemesis in a dictionary), and an enemy so adept at beguiling his prey that they had no idea he was preying on them! (Go ahead, look up 'beguiling,' too!)
Before Mr. Neigh had a chance to take the first step in the shallow part of the stream, there was one of the most strange creatures half running, half sliding down the same ripped-up bank he'd just almost fallen down himself! It was an ostrich, from Australia! A very BIG ostrich, too!
"Quick! Jump off my back!, " Mr. Neigh! nearly shouted at the dumbfounded Miss Riding Wolffe. "Quickly! Run to that bush over there!"
You might not know this, but horses and ostriches got into a very bad row in the Garden of Eden. And, we're just about to find out why!
He then backed up toward that very surprised Mr. Ostrich, and was just ready to plant both of his very big, very heavy hind hooves right on the ostriches' chest!
In a moment we'll finish that part! First, we need a little history lesson . . .
After leaving the Great Ark of Safety, Captain Noah, to settle the problem between the Horse and the Ostrich Families, after the Great Flood, put Horses in North Africa, and Ostriches in South Africa, and in Australia (Which was originally called "Ostrichlia," but eventually the name was changed to more easily pronounce it!), far apart from one another.
On the Ark Creator had instructed him to build, and how to construct it to make it safely through the very, very worst ocean storm ever in history, Noah had placed ostriches on one end, horses on the other! He wanted to keep an eye on the horses, they're quite mischievous, you know! We'll be finding out, but after we get past this next point in the story!
Anyway, in Miss Riding Wolffe's day, they still didn't get along, and if they ever got together, instant brouhaha and other mayhem quickly ensued! ( I know, you need to go look up 'brouhaha'!)
Mr. Neigh! was a very wise, old horse, by then. But he had faithfully passed down to his children, and there were quite a few horses he had sired, the ancient stories about Ostriches that his own grandpa had passed on to him, from his grandpa. He had never seen an ostrich, but in his instincts, he immediately knew that this strange creature was one. The ancient stories told every horse what to do, if ever facing an ostrich, so Mr. Neigh! was just following his heritage, as he readied himself to deliver what could easily be a death blow to the old, gentlemanly ostrich!
As it happened, when Noah had first placed horses and ostriches on the Ark, they were free to roam about. The Ostrich Family had taken the Horses' stall, since it was warmer and more comfy than the one assigned to them. The horses used their teeth to make the ostriches leave, but they were slower than the ostriches, who had sharp, long beaks, and ran faster, and dodged about too quick for the horses to bite them. Over the time since, the horses had devised a method to deal the ostriches a deadly, final blow, with their hind hooves, before the ostriches even knew they were under attack!
But, even before the Great Flood, Horses and Ostriches had had a very big, very bad experience, and we will be getting into that, later.
For now, as Mr. Neigh! made ready to fire a deadly blow to Mr. Ostrich, the surprised, old and quite wise Ostrich stopped quickly, and said, "Wall! Ba looww me to da fedders(Feathers), Thae Gaeode (Good) Laorde(Lord) daone sheak(Shake) mai(My) hyed(head) overn a-deow-yn(Over and down) thea cleiff oop yearn(up yonder), an hears ah a-preactly teumbels(and here I a-practically tumbles) i-ento ye, ayne ye tearns yo' baek o oyn mai(into you, and you turns your back around on me) whaen ah geetz a-cleos ta ye eal(when I gets a-close to you all)!"
[Ostrich-speak is kinda hard to understand, especially when it comes from an Aussie ostrich!]
With that, the old ostrich ( A professor of Gray Whale Culture, from Australia, and 'very' distinguished too, I should tell you), bowed low to Mr. Neigh! !!
Now, you could say that Mr. Neigh! was surprised! In fact, though he was dumbfounded (Ask grandma what 'dumbfounded' means before we go any further), and extremely embarrassed, a feeling of deep guilt struck him even dumber! The poor old horse was speechless! (There, I helped Grandma out!).
So, he just stood there, his back side still toward Mr. Ostrich, his head and ears drooping down! And, that's where I have to end this part of the Story of Miss Red Riding Wolffe!
Hope your Father in Heaven is your Very Best Friend, this Christmas! And, I pray for Him to send you every bit of His Love, and His Peace - for you, my dearly-loved children - and your families.
Love . . .
Grandpa.

Hope you see this!
For three dear small children in my life then, each of whom I love much, but you, daughter, the most, I wrote a lively story about a small wolf pup, whose trust in Creator made her life a living honor to Him, and rescued her and her traveling companion, an old horse, from many a wild danger.
I had thought to not post any more comments on this, one of your blogs, as I think you may not understand my heart at all, due to those who speak against me with half-truths, and multiplied un-truths.
However, I do feel Creator wants you to have this gift, as it was in His Presence that it was formed in my heart, specifically for you to gain a deeper walk with Him, and a clearer understanding about His great love for you.
I do apologize for this, another intrusion in your space, yet I believe that reading the story, a four-part book by the time it was finished during its four-Christmas development, will bless you with hours of fun, and inspiring reading!
Yes! You are welcome! [After you read it, and see what say about it is real!]

Oh! Nearly forgot! I am adding the entire text - and hopefully Carl will provide illustrations - to my,
blog
[http://claudea-more-than-gardens.blogspot.com/]
Look for this date, as I will publish the first two "books" today, minus illustrations, as I am only now typing the story into digital form. It will be in magazine-length sections on the blog, but I hope to add the entire story in a single file, somewhere, when it is fully digitized.
Oh! The parts I am publishing today are named:
"Little Miss Red Riding Wolffe. Book First" and,
Little Miss Red Riding Wolffe Visits Friends in Seattle. Book Second"
The third is several hundred pages long, so I'll likely post it in sections as I finish typing them. I wrote this series for Christmases of 1997, 98, 99, and 2000.
The fourth, and last section, "Little Miss Red Writing Wolffe, Jeremiah 3 & 4. Book Final"
To appreciate this final section, and the message it centers on, read both of these Hebrew Scripture chapters:
Jeremiah 3, and, Jeremiah 4.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+3&version=NASB
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+4&version=NASB.
This final section closes the fantastic story of section 3, "Captain YHVH; First Mate, Noah, and The Ark of Mutany, Book Third." This section was, as I watched my hand write it down, like as if it was not my mind producing it, but a mind that was actually there during the pre-Flood world. Now, when I read it, it is like a story I did not write.
Also interesting, as I read it, I find new inspiration and guidance for my daily walk with Creator, in His Presence, and in His Creation. Most fascinating!
Enjoy!

Guess What?
After two years, Finally ALL the "Little Miss Red Riding Wolffe" story collection is digitized!
Yeah! Really! It's pretty intense in places, but it moves quite well. Now it needs to be formatted into logical sections and chapters.
I haven't counted all the characters, but I am guessing there's about 50.
As it unwound, three intertwined stories unfolded together. Each tells a vital part of the whole, how trust for Creator makes all the difference for living on Planet Earth! It takes up about 500 pages, so maybe posting it here would be kinda hard to do? Maybe I'll set up a separate blogger for it. Maybe I can find a way to make an attachment here?
Anyway, I wrote it in four parts for each of Christmases 1997 through 2000, dedicated to Cynthia Joy, Melissa Joy, and Eriel Shaitel, three lovely children in my life at different times, all dearly cherished and loved by their papa and step grandfather.
The trust for Master YHVH that permeates this story is what I wanted most to convey to each dear daughter and granddaughter, but things beyond my control made this only a distant dream for me. So, I gave the entire story to Master YHVH, and asked Him to write this story on each daughter's heart, whether she reads it or not. Still, the story is a good read. In places it is a challenge to get through the language from a couple of characters, but the emotions and excitement of all the joys, surprises, terrors, and fears for even the main characters' lives make for a rather spell-binding experience.
The fun of reading the entire story over from up to 15 years ago and how my hand was led to pen the story is fascinating, to say the least! My hand penned the last, "Book Final" in late December 2000, if I remember right, but as I typed I found myself saying exactly the same words ahead of my reading!
Anyway, I hope that at least someone finds the joy of reading a fantasy illustrating the goodness of obeying Master YHVH lifts their love for Him, and gives encouragement to keep on keeping on in His service!
That's what it's all about!

On a Pro-Roman Catholic Church heresy page, I just posted a comment about the Babylonian Pantheon idolatry practice of dividing Deity into separate individuals. My comment . . .
"Robbie,
The Lord Creator is as you say, but not in the sense that the Jehovah Witness heresy believes, which is the heresy your comments promotes.
You will find that the JW heresy cannot align itself with Hebrew Scripture for the same reason the Roman Catholic Christian Church is utterly out of alignment, and in alignment with Nimrod's Babylon, from which the heresy comes.
If you open Genesis 1:26 and see that "we" and "our" are not in the Hebrew at all, then open Numbers 6:4 to see Creator identifies Himself as singular, indivisable, and then open Daniel 7:13 to see Creator as He revealed Himself to Daniel as three manifestations of Spirit, Flesh of Man, and Indwelling Spirit for those who earnestly seek Him, then you have the root of understanding of The Deity, and you begin to know the pagan idols worshiped as replacement for Him.
I will be posting this to my blog, as I see this will be flagged for moderation here
CC: claudea-gardener"
The problem that prompted me to post it here is that all comments are moderated, and would prompt that blogger to likely trash what I shared, as it exposes all pagan Christian religion sects.
The real problem is pride.
Man fell when he decided he had the preeminence over disobedience, and ate the forbidden fruit offered by the one Creator gave him to love and cherish, but he, Ish, rather chose to abandon her. Else, how did Serpent get private access to Ishah, to tempt her with eating the fruit behind Ish's back?
Understanding Truth begins with understanding Hebrew Scripture. This is what Y'suah, Who gave His Living Word to each recorder in Hebrew Scripture says about His Own Word! The Catholic Church believes its popes have so much authority that they can rewrite Hebrew Scripture, and even Y'suah cannot change what they write! Talk about supreme pride of disobedience!
Nuff said . . .

Miss Little Red Riding Wolffe: Book Third - Intro
In this, the third book of the "Little Miss Red Riding Wolffe" series, the story takes a major turn of historical proportion, back into the wonderful Garden of Eden, to find out the details of why Horses and Ostriches are such enemies in the day of Red Riding Wolffe. The story sets a very real picture about how Evil entered the world of mankind, and his animal companions.
It makes for an interesting read on what may have actually happened on the Great Ark of Noah, since we know that at least some of the heathen practices from before the Great Flood were re-established among Mankind. This, as my hand penned it, seemed to form itself from somewhere outside my mind, and I read it today, as if I had not read it before. In fact, I get personal inspiration and encouragement to walk along my own life's pathway, as I face so many pitfalls and situations where I am sorely tempted to just quit, and give up.
In this entire series of Little Red Riding Wolffe stories, a simple thread of trust in Creator brings it to a real, living application for everything we ever face in Life. It is my deepest hope that this little story imparts this Hope to each and every reader, not for just a single point in their life, but, for every day, and in every way. I also hope that it is read to the young we most desire to understand, and apply a life of trust in and for Creator. That is my highest hope for this little story.
Now, I must get back to work typing it in on my computer . . .
Till then . . . .

Miss Little Red Riding Wolffe: Book Second; Blog Post 4
All the Otter Family led horse and rider along the top of the high bank, down stream. In about a mile, a loud roar from the stream rose from a water fall, but the side they traveled on was beginning to have a less steep slope down to the stream.
"The pathway down is right there!," little Joshua Otter said. He pointed to a very small. otter-sized path going down from the bank almost at Mr. Neigh!'s feet. Below them, the stream fell over a high cliff, but the path the otters now took was less steep, where it went down the bank to the stream below. The trouble for Mr. Neigh! was, it was too small for a horse!
But, he wanted to please his sweet little friend, so he decided to try to take her safely down the bank. He didn't know he was about to meet an ancient enemy he had only instinctual memories about. He had never in his long life met such a creature!
"Ugh!" Mr. Neigh! got so stuck halfway down that narrow little path, it's a miracle we now have the strange story that is coming up shortly!
"Humfp! Huff! Huff! Huh-umpf! He grunted as he tried to get past the thick Iron Bush that had caught him. It was impossible to go back up the path, and he could not budge past this miserable bush! "I'm afraid I got myself stuck!, Mr. Neigh! said. He looked up at Miss Riding Wolffe. "I don't know what to do."
"Oh, silly Mr. Neigh!," cried Riding Wolffe. You didn't ask Heavenly Father to show you what to do, yet! Go ahead, ask Him!"
"Oh," Mr. Neigh! replied, he was embarrassed. " I will, right now!"
"My Father in Heaven," he said, "I'm sorry, but I didn't remember to talk to You for guidance - again! Is it too late to help me now?"
What happened next you might be tempted to think was impossible, or just in funny stories about a little wolf pup who gets into all sorts of adventure, it REALLY DID HAPPEN, Just this way!
When Mr. Neigh! finished speaking, the earth shook! In Seattle, there are a number of breaks in the earth rock, way underneath the water, the meadows, and even the mountains! Every so often, Father in Heaven adjusts the deep rocks, and the whole area above shakes!
Right then, when Mr. Neigh! was thinking he would spend the rest of his life on earth stuck in that iron bush, half way down the ravine bank, Mr. Neigh! was shaken loose by an earth quake! But, so were some rocks and earth above him! They all tumbled and rolled to the bottom of that ravine faster than you can blink at the surprise!
As the falling rocks and earth went by them, the path was cleared, and the way down became a soft landing for Mr. Neigh!. Even the Otter Family scrambled out of the way of the falling earth and rocks!
But even more surprises were waiting! One of the otters noticed that a wide hole had formed at the top of the waterfall, where now a lake was growing. Just past it, near the top of the waterfall, the stream was very shallow, where Mr. Neigh! could easily walk across. The rest of the stream was in a deep cut through solid rock, with sides too steep for Mr. Neigh! to enter the water, and get out on the other side.
However, he was just about to meet his longtime, ancient nemesis(You might want to look up 'nemesis in a dictionary), and an enemy so adept at beguiling his prey that they had no idea he was preying on them! (Go ahead, look up 'beguiling,' too!)
Before Mr. Neigh had a chance to take the first step in the shallow part of the stream, there was one of the most strange creatures half running, half sliding down the same ripped-up bank he'd just almost fallen down himself! It was an ostrich, from Australia! A very BIG ostrich, too!
"Quick! Jump off my back!, " Mr. Neigh! nearly shouted at the dumbfounded Miss Riding Wolffe. "Quickly! Run to that bush over there!"
You might not know this, but horses and ostriches got into a very bad row in the Garden of Eden. And, we're just about to find out why!
He then backed up toward that very surprised Mr. Ostrich, and was just ready to plant both of his very big, very heavy hind hooves right on the ostriches' chest!
In a moment we'll finish that part! First, we need a little history lesson . . .
After leaving the Great Ark of Safety, Captain Noah, to settle the problem between the Horse and the Ostrich Families, after the Great Flood, put Horses in North Africa, and Ostriches in South Africa, and in Australia (Which was originally called "Ostrichlia," but eventually the name was changed to more easily pronounce it!), far apart from one another.
On the Ark Creator had instructed him to build, and how to construct it to make it safely through the very, very worst ocean storm ever in history, Noah had placed ostriches on one end, horses on the other! He wanted to keep an eye on the horses, they're quite mischievous, you know! We'll be finding out, but after we get past this next point in the story!
Anyway, in Miss Riding Wolffe's day, they still didn't get along, and if they ever got together, instant brouhaha and other mayhem quickly ensued! ( I know, you need to go look up 'brouhaha'!)
Mr. Neigh! was a very wise, old horse, by then. But he had faithfully passed down to his children, and there were quite a few horses he had sired, the ancient stories about Ostriches that his own grandpa had passed on to him, from his grandpa. He had never seen an ostrich, but in his instincts, he immediately knew that this strange creature was one. The ancient stories told every horse what to do, if ever facing an ostrich, so Mr. Neigh! was just following his heritage, as he readied himself to deliver what could easily be a death blow to the old, gentlemanly ostrich!
As it happened, when Noah had first placed horses and ostriches on the Ark, they were free to roam about. The Ostrich Family had taken the Horses' stall, since it was warmer and more comfy than the one assigned to them. The horses used their teeth to make the ostriches leave, but they were slower than the ostriches, who had sharp, long beaks, and ran faster, and dodged about too quick for the horses to bite them. Over the time since, the horses had devised a method to deal the ostriches a deadly, final blow, with their hind hooves, before the ostriches even knew they were under attack!
But, even before the Great Flood, Horses and Ostriches had had a very big, very bad experience, and we will be getting into that, later.
For now, as Mr. Neigh! made ready to fire a deadly blow to Mr. Ostrich, the surprised, old and quite wise Ostrich stopped quickly, and said, "Wall! Ba looww me to da fedders(Feathers), Thae Gaeode (Good) Laorde(Lord) daone sheak(Shake) mai(My) hyed(head) overn a-deow-yn(Over and down) thea cleiff oop yearn(up yonder), an hears ah a-preactly teumbels(and here I a-practically tumbles) i-ento ye, ayne ye tearns yo' baek o oyn mai(into you, and you turns your back around on me) whaen ah geetz a-cleos ta ye eal(when I gets a-close to you all)!"
[Ostrich-speak is kinda hard to understand, especially when it comes from an Aussie ostrich!]
With that, the old ostrich ( A professor of Gray Whale Culture, from Australia, and 'very' distinguished too, I should tell you), bowed low to Mr. Neigh! !!
Now, you could say that Mr. Neigh! was surprised! In fact, though he was dumbfounded (Ask grandma what 'dumbfounded' means before we go any further), and extremely embarrassed, a feeling of deep guilt struck him even dumber! The poor old horse was speechless! (There, I helped Grandma out!).
So, he just stood there, his back side still toward Mr. Ostrich, his head and ears drooping down! And, that's where I have to end this part of the Story of Miss Red Riding Wolffe!
Hope your Father in Heaven is your Very Best Friend, this Christmas! And, I pray for Him to send you every bit of His Love, and His Peace - for you, my dearly-loved children - and your families.
Love . . .
Grandpa.

Hope you see this!
For three dear small children in my life then, each of whom I love much, but you, daughter, the most, I wrote a lively story about a small wolf pup, whose trust in Creator made her life a living honor to Him, and rescued her and her traveling companion, an old horse, from many a wild danger.
I had thought to not post any more comments on this, one of your blogs, as I think you may not understand my heart at all, due to those who speak against me with half-truths, and multiplied un-truths.
However, I do feel Creator wants you to have this gift, as it was in His Presence that it was formed in my heart, specifically for you to gain a deeper walk with Him, and a clearer understanding about His great love for you.
I do apologize for this, another intrusion in your space, yet I believe that reading the story, a four-part book by the time it was finished during its four-Christmas development, will bless you with hours of fun, and inspiring reading!
Yes! You are welcome! [After you read it, and see what say about it is real!]

Oh! Nearly forgot! I am adding the entire text - and hopefully Carl will provide illustrations - to my,
blog
[http://claudea-more-than-gardens.blogspot.com/]
Look for this date, as I will publish the first two "books" today, minus illustrations, as I am only now typing the story into digital form. It will be in magazine-length sections on the blog, but I hope to add the entire story in a single file, somewhere, when it is fully digitized.
Oh! The parts I am publishing today are named:
"Little Miss Red Riding Wolffe. Book First" and,
Little Miss Red Riding Wolffe Visits Friends in Seattle. Book Second"
The third is several hundred pages long, so I'll likely post it in sections as I finish typing them. I wrote this series for Christmases of 1997, 98, 99, and 2000.
The fourth, and last section, "Little Miss Red Writing Wolffe, Jeremiah 3 & 4. Book Final"
To appreciate this final section, and the message it centers on, read both of these Hebrew Scripture chapters:
Jeremiah 3, and, Jeremiah 4.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+3&version=NASB
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+4&version=NASB.
This final section closes the fantastic story of section 3, "Captain YHVH; First Mate, Noah, and The Ark of Mutany, Book Third." This section was, as I watched my hand write it down, like as if it was not my mind producing it, but a mind that was actually there during the pre-Flood world. Now, when I read it, it is like a story I did not write.
Also interesting, as I read it, I find new inspiration and guidance for my daily walk with Creator, in His Presence, and in His Creation. Most fascinating!
Enjoy!

Miss Little Red Riding Wolffe: Book Second; Blog Post 3
"Chee! Chee!Chee! Sheeee! Chit Chit Chit, Cut-Cut-Cut, Cheree!"
It was Blue Jay! He had found them, and was sitting on Mr. Neigh!'s ear, trying to wake both him and Red Riding wolffe up!. Of course, what they heard was . . . "It's morning! It's morning! Wake up! Wake up!, sleepy heads!"
When she opened her eyes, Red Riding Wolffe saw the deep blue sky above the very tall fir trees, under which they had made their warm bed on the dry needles, so deep that they made a soft bed. "Oh! Look over there!" she exclaimed, pointing to a wide stretch of the bluest water she had ever seen. And there, not far away from the hill they were sleeping on, just past the fresh green meadow below, was the part of Seattle's water front called Meadow Bay, by people in her time. It was very beautiful!
"Can we go to the water?, she asked. "Please, it would very nice, and you can watch and rest for awhile there," she said to Mr. Neigh!.
"Well, I would like to," he said, but your mother must be worried about you! We need to get back, so she won't be alarmed!"
"I can take care of that!" Blue Jay flew down onto Mr. Neigh!'s back. "I'll go right now and tell everyone that you're both OK, and that something scared you last night, Mr. Neigh!. I know Mrs. Wolffe will be happy to have her little daughter here, with you, and, maybe I can find out what scared you, too."
"OK, but do come back right away, so I know it's OK," Mr. neigh said. "I don't want to stay here if Red Riding Wolffe's mom wants her back home. We'll stay at the water, down there." He lifted a front hoof to point to the water at the edge of the middle of the meadow. But, he soon was to wish he'd pointed out another spot!
Now, this time was a verrryyy, verrrryyyy long time ago, and names of things were different then. The name for the area was Seattle, or "Sealth," in that people's language, but the water was called "Creator's Kitchen," because it was a great source of many kinds of food. Some even called it "Creator's Table," because of the beauty of it and the surrounding shores, and it was usually calm, unlike the ocean, where it came from, far to the North.
Many streams and several rivers brought fresh water to it. and many fish entered their family's fresh water homes through it, to lay their kinds of eggs for the next generation.
The noisy, long-flying geese from the coast lands far to the North landed on this great body's shores, to rest and eat high-energy grasses they needed for their long flights. From far to the South, humming birds came here, to hover over bright, beautiful flowers that gave them sweet nectars to nourish and give them energy for the long flights back to their Winter homes in the South. Many honey bees made this land their home, and it was a happy bear who found a bees' nest in an old, hollow log, and ate honey till it was groggy - and full of bee stings!
Each Spring Blue Jays welcomed their cousins from the South, the Robins, and distant 3rd cousins, the Swallows. On his way to tell mother Wolffe the good news of finding her daughter and Mr. Neigh! safe and sound, and their request to visit Meadow Bay, Mr. Blue Jay remembered meeting his very best friend, Red Robin, that last Spring, who had just arrived from his Winter home in the South.
Red Robin had been in a cheery mind, happy to have arrived on such a fine day in his favorite Summer home. He had already started to build a nest for his pretty wife, but had stopped to pull up a tasty mouthful - er, beak full, of big, fat juicy worms! To Mr. Blue Jay, the worms were, well, shall we say, "Lacking for taste appeal?, so he waited while Cousin Red Robin finished his meal.
"Fine to see you, cousin!," Blue Jay said.
"Oh!," exclaimed Red Robin. I didn't see you! Yes! And it's very good to be back! I trust that you've had a pleasant Winter?"
"Well, 'cept for a long spell of heavy rains, when it was a mite difficult to get out for meals, yes, it was an OK Winter. I'm happy to see it's Spring again, too!"
Red Robin was happy to bring Blue Jay to visit his wife and they had a wonderful time together last Summer.
Today, he was not expecting to see the Red Robins, it was much too early in the year. Just as fast as Cynthia, Melissa, and Eriel can eat their moms' fresh-baked chocolate chip, oatmeal and raisin cookies, dipped in cold strawberry milk, on a hot Summer day, Mr. Blue Jay was arriving at the Wolffe's home by the tall tree, to deliver the good news, and Riding Wolffe's request. Little did he realize that he had still another unexpected message to bring back home, before this was even delivered!
Soon after they had started for the edge of the meadow, to sit by Meadow Bay, "Creator's Kitchen," what we call Puget Sound, Mr. Neigh! and Little Red Riding Wolffe found a family of otters, who were sliding down a mud slide into a tiny stream. Their shrill shrieks of laughter, pranks of splashing mud on each other, and swimming with their tummies floating out of the water, and eating clams on their "tummy tables," was fun to watch. When they had watched and laughed for a while, the horse and his little rider set off for Meadow Bay again.
"I wish Mrs. Weasel could have fun like that," Miss Riding Wolffe said. "she is too unhappy all the time. Maybe she would like to laugh if she was sliding down the mud slides with the Otter Family!" Just thinking about this was so funny, to imagine a very fancy, elegant, proper mother Weasel sliding in the mud, that they laughed!
Now, to really understand what happened next, don't peek ahead! In just a few pages you'll get a big surprise! But, for now, just keep reading, because you will need to know what I have to tell you, so the surprise makes sense! Or, if grandma is reading this to you, just be patient! We'll get there soon enough!
Sometimes, when you looked at something like a mountain, rising above a flat ground between you and it, it looked like you could just walk over to the mountain. Right? But, if the curve of the Earth made the ground closest to you hide the rest of the way to that mountain, and there was actually a river, or even a canyon between you and the distant mountain, how would you know, except that you actually traveled toward the mountain, and discovered the canyon, or stream?
So, to Mr. Neigh! and Red Riding Wolffe, Meadow Bay water looked like it was an easy walk to get to its edge.
Miss Little Red Riding Wolffe was just a young wolf-pup, but she had a deep faith in Creator to keep her safe, and to guide her where He wanted her to go, and to experience all He wanted her to, so she would grow up trusting Him for all she needed in her life. Her trust in Him made it easy for her to go where grown up wolves would fear too much to go, and make excuses why 'not' to explore new things and places. So, it was probably a good thing that Miss Riding Wolffe was the one Creator led to this place, and have such a desire to explore all she could, there. Otherwise, we would never have the wonderful story of her great discoveries, and all her surprises!
Now then, I said that often we see a distant place we want to go to, and all we see is flat ground between where we stand, and the distant place, and we think it would be a simple walk to get there. Well, as Mr. Neigh! walked toward Meadow Bay, they found that the way was blocked by a deep, steep-sided ravine, with a fast, deep stream at the bottom. It was full of large rocks, and many tough bushes, called "iron bush," were between them and the bottom of the ravine. The bushes were so thick they couldn't see the way down to the bottom of the ravine, or any pathway to get there.
Red Riding Wolffe had the solution, though. It's the same solution to every problem any creature has, and so she said, out loud, "Father, You see our problem. In fact, You knew we would face it, here, and yet You gave us the interest to go to Meadow Bay, so You also know how we are to cross this ravine." And, just then is when the Otter Family went by, headed down toward the fast stream, past where they stood! They had missed seeing a narrow path just wide enough for the otters, and slippery for them to slide down!
Mr. Neigh! looked at it, and backed away! "Please," asked Miss Riding Wolffe, so he said, "Well, I'll try." He was not so sure it was a good idea, at all! But, if he had not made this important choice to at least try, we would not have one of the most fantastic stories ever told!
Tiny Tim Otter waved as he went by. So did Mary Sue, Joshua, and even grandpa Otter! "Hey! Do you want to get across?," Joshua asked. "I know where the stream is shallow. Just walk along this bank, down stream. We'll show you a place to come down to the stream. Follow us!"
All the Otter Family led horse and rider along the top of the high bank, down stream. In about a mile, a loud roar from the stream rose from a water fall, but the side they traveled on was beginning to have a less steep slope down to the stream.
"The pathway down is right there!," little Joshua Otter said. He pointed to a very small. otter-sized path going down from the bank almost at Mr. Neigh!'s feet. Below them, the stream fell over a high cliff, but the path the otters now took was less steep, where it went down the bank to the stream below. The trouble for Mr. Neigh! was, it was too small for a horse!
But, he wanted to please his sweet little friend, so he decided to try to take her safely down the bank. He didn't know he was about to meet an ancient enemy he had only instinctual memories about. He had never in his long life met such a creature!
"Ugh!" Mr. Neigh! got so stuck halfway down that narrow little path, it's a miracle we now have the strange story that is coming up shortly!
It was Blue Jay! He had found them, and was sitting on Mr. Neigh!'s ear, trying to wake both him and Red Riding wolffe up!. Of course, what they heard was . . . "It's morning! It's morning! Wake up! Wake up!, sleepy heads!"
When she opened her eyes, Red Riding Wolffe saw the deep blue sky above the very tall fir trees, under which they had made their warm bed on the dry needles, so deep that they made a soft bed. "Oh! Look over there!" she exclaimed, pointing to a wide stretch of the bluest water she had ever seen. And there, not far away from the hill they were sleeping on, just past the fresh green meadow below, was the part of Seattle's water front called Meadow Bay, by people in her time. It was very beautiful!
"Can we go to the water?, she asked. "Please, it would very nice, and you can watch and rest for awhile there," she said to Mr. Neigh!.
"Well, I would like to," he said, but your mother must be worried about you! We need to get back, so she won't be alarmed!"
"I can take care of that!" Blue Jay flew down onto Mr. Neigh!'s back. "I'll go right now and tell everyone that you're both OK, and that something scared you last night, Mr. Neigh!. I know Mrs. Wolffe will be happy to have her little daughter here, with you, and, maybe I can find out what scared you, too."
"OK, but do come back right away, so I know it's OK," Mr. neigh said. "I don't want to stay here if Red Riding Wolffe's mom wants her back home. We'll stay at the water, down there." He lifted a front hoof to point to the water at the edge of the middle of the meadow. But, he soon was to wish he'd pointed out another spot!
Now, this time was a verrryyy, verrrryyyy long time ago, and names of things were different then. The name for the area was Seattle, or "Sealth," in that people's language, but the water was called "Creator's Kitchen," because it was a great source of many kinds of food. Some even called it "Creator's Table," because of the beauty of it and the surrounding shores, and it was usually calm, unlike the ocean, where it came from, far to the North.
Many streams and several rivers brought fresh water to it. and many fish entered their family's fresh water homes through it, to lay their kinds of eggs for the next generation.
The noisy, long-flying geese from the coast lands far to the North landed on this great body's shores, to rest and eat high-energy grasses they needed for their long flights. From far to the South, humming birds came here, to hover over bright, beautiful flowers that gave them sweet nectars to nourish and give them energy for the long flights back to their Winter homes in the South. Many honey bees made this land their home, and it was a happy bear who found a bees' nest in an old, hollow log, and ate honey till it was groggy - and full of bee stings!
Each Spring Blue Jays welcomed their cousins from the South, the Robins, and distant 3rd cousins, the Swallows. On his way to tell mother Wolffe the good news of finding her daughter and Mr. Neigh! safe and sound, and their request to visit Meadow Bay, Mr. Blue Jay remembered meeting his very best friend, Red Robin, that last Spring, who had just arrived from his Winter home in the South.
Red Robin had been in a cheery mind, happy to have arrived on such a fine day in his favorite Summer home. He had already started to build a nest for his pretty wife, but had stopped to pull up a tasty mouthful - er, beak full, of big, fat juicy worms! To Mr. Blue Jay, the worms were, well, shall we say, "Lacking for taste appeal?, so he waited while Cousin Red Robin finished his meal.
"Fine to see you, cousin!," Blue Jay said.
"Oh!," exclaimed Red Robin. I didn't see you! Yes! And it's very good to be back! I trust that you've had a pleasant Winter?"
"Well, 'cept for a long spell of heavy rains, when it was a mite difficult to get out for meals, yes, it was an OK Winter. I'm happy to see it's Spring again, too!"
Red Robin was happy to bring Blue Jay to visit his wife and they had a wonderful time together last Summer.
Today, he was not expecting to see the Red Robins, it was much too early in the year. Just as fast as Cynthia, Melissa, and Eriel can eat their moms' fresh-baked chocolate chip, oatmeal and raisin cookies, dipped in cold strawberry milk, on a hot Summer day, Mr. Blue Jay was arriving at the Wolffe's home by the tall tree, to deliver the good news, and Riding Wolffe's request. Little did he realize that he had still another unexpected message to bring back home, before this was even delivered!
Soon after they had started for the edge of the meadow, to sit by Meadow Bay, "Creator's Kitchen," what we call Puget Sound, Mr. Neigh! and Little Red Riding Wolffe found a family of otters, who were sliding down a mud slide into a tiny stream. Their shrill shrieks of laughter, pranks of splashing mud on each other, and swimming with their tummies floating out of the water, and eating clams on their "tummy tables," was fun to watch. When they had watched and laughed for a while, the horse and his little rider set off for Meadow Bay again.
"I wish Mrs. Weasel could have fun like that," Miss Riding Wolffe said. "she is too unhappy all the time. Maybe she would like to laugh if she was sliding down the mud slides with the Otter Family!" Just thinking about this was so funny, to imagine a very fancy, elegant, proper mother Weasel sliding in the mud, that they laughed!
Now, to really understand what happened next, don't peek ahead! In just a few pages you'll get a big surprise! But, for now, just keep reading, because you will need to know what I have to tell you, so the surprise makes sense! Or, if grandma is reading this to you, just be patient! We'll get there soon enough!
Sometimes, when you looked at something like a mountain, rising above a flat ground between you and it, it looked like you could just walk over to the mountain. Right? But, if the curve of the Earth made the ground closest to you hide the rest of the way to that mountain, and there was actually a river, or even a canyon between you and the distant mountain, how would you know, except that you actually traveled toward the mountain, and discovered the canyon, or stream?
So, to Mr. Neigh! and Red Riding Wolffe, Meadow Bay water looked like it was an easy walk to get to its edge.
Miss Little Red Riding Wolffe was just a young wolf-pup, but she had a deep faith in Creator to keep her safe, and to guide her where He wanted her to go, and to experience all He wanted her to, so she would grow up trusting Him for all she needed in her life. Her trust in Him made it easy for her to go where grown up wolves would fear too much to go, and make excuses why 'not' to explore new things and places. So, it was probably a good thing that Miss Riding Wolffe was the one Creator led to this place, and have such a desire to explore all she could, there. Otherwise, we would never have the wonderful story of her great discoveries, and all her surprises!
Now then, I said that often we see a distant place we want to go to, and all we see is flat ground between where we stand, and the distant place, and we think it would be a simple walk to get there. Well, as Mr. Neigh! walked toward Meadow Bay, they found that the way was blocked by a deep, steep-sided ravine, with a fast, deep stream at the bottom. It was full of large rocks, and many tough bushes, called "iron bush," were between them and the bottom of the ravine. The bushes were so thick they couldn't see the way down to the bottom of the ravine, or any pathway to get there.
Red Riding Wolffe had the solution, though. It's the same solution to every problem any creature has, and so she said, out loud, "Father, You see our problem. In fact, You knew we would face it, here, and yet You gave us the interest to go to Meadow Bay, so You also know how we are to cross this ravine." And, just then is when the Otter Family went by, headed down toward the fast stream, past where they stood! They had missed seeing a narrow path just wide enough for the otters, and slippery for them to slide down!
Mr. Neigh! looked at it, and backed away! "Please," asked Miss Riding Wolffe, so he said, "Well, I'll try." He was not so sure it was a good idea, at all! But, if he had not made this important choice to at least try, we would not have one of the most fantastic stories ever told!
Tiny Tim Otter waved as he went by. So did Mary Sue, Joshua, and even grandpa Otter! "Hey! Do you want to get across?," Joshua asked. "I know where the stream is shallow. Just walk along this bank, down stream. We'll show you a place to come down to the stream. Follow us!"
All the Otter Family led horse and rider along the top of the high bank, down stream. In about a mile, a loud roar from the stream rose from a water fall, but the side they traveled on was beginning to have a less steep slope down to the stream.
"The pathway down is right there!," little Joshua Otter said. He pointed to a very small. otter-sized path going down from the bank almost at Mr. Neigh!'s feet. Below them, the stream fell over a high cliff, but the path the otters now took was less steep, where it went down the bank to the stream below. The trouble for Mr. Neigh! was, it was too small for a horse!
But, he wanted to please his sweet little friend, so he decided to try to take her safely down the bank. He didn't know he was about to meet an ancient enemy he had only instinctual memories about. He had never in his long life met such a creature!
"Ugh!" Mr. Neigh! got so stuck halfway down that narrow little path, it's a miracle we now have the strange story that is coming up shortly!
