I woke up and hobbled down the stairs. I had cats and little boys and dogs on my heels. All hungry-ing and cranky. I commence to provide all with food. I stepped on the deck with my protein drink and a handful of Cheerios for Clarence. He was waiting patiently for me. I have a smallish Mimosa tree kinda close to the deck and I looked underneath for the baby squirrels who’ve been playing there. No babies. But there was lots and lots of mushrooms. They made a complete circle around the tree. I’ve heard this referred to as a Fairy ring. “Ooh”, says I. “That’s a good omen!” outloud. I didn’t know the little boys were out on the deck. So I had to create a whole new lie …umm…I mean,fairytale. What a fun morning.🤭 ---

I am sure the merchandise is coming. I can see Clarence T-Shirts, and coffee mugs, and maybe even a Clarence Cheerio container. And don’t get me started on the Fouke Monster. ---

I’m telling you, Beck, you could be a Youtube content creator. Just sharing the videos of your menagerie would do it. 😃 ---

It involves Smurfs, Spiderman and a witch who has a fungus infection. That should clear it up.🤭 ---
