If she lives there, no wonder she looks so pouty/about to cry or throw a tantrum! Definitely not fit for a queen. Are you out of your toady mind?! Oh yes, of course you are...the little queen has cast a spell upon you. But all that belongs in another realm, over on the edge. Not here.<br /><br />I think you must be a toad of the Scarlet Pimpernel variety--hopping up all over the place when least expected. Although it seems our sister was expecting you. Just be careful around here, little toad, that you don't get scooped up in a passing snow plough.<br /><br />Gravy on the mashed potatoes? I imagine the local gas station/inconvenience store might have a tin or two of of the stuff gathering dust on a shelf. <br /><br />Would you like one lump or two?Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691575624480469934.post-27246046849448676222011-01-31T21:35:55.256-04:002011-01-31T21:35:55.256-04:00Driftwood,

I can appreciate the beauty of snow clad hills from a warm perch, but in reality, I'm more than fed up with all that white.
