Hello, Rina, good to know that you're never far away from The House of Stories! Now that it's September and the publishing world is coming home from its holidays things are getting busy in the house and quiet in the garden. But not all that quiet.
The Sunshines came to stay, and how lovely that was! On Saturday Tony and LOS nipped over the border into Scotland to look at aeroplanes. (Tony and LOS are into aeroplanes.) Lady Sunshine and I pottled into town to do a bit of wandering, a bit of shopping, a bit of lunch, a lot of conversation, you know how it is. The sun shone for us. We met some amazing Puppet Factory animal puppets. It was a sunny autumn day (I always said she brings the sunshine with her), just the day for being outside.
It was still sunny, with that golden autumn warmth, when we got back to The House of Stories. The apple tree was weighed down with fruit like the tree in the fairytale and longing for somebody to harvest it, so out we went with the heavy canvas bags and a stepladder. Sometimes it was me up the tree and Lady Sunshine on a ladder and sometimes it was one of us on the ladder with the other one hanging grimly on, but between us we gathered two enormous bags full of firm green apples, some just a bit marked or misshapen but none the worse for that, and a few leaves and twigs that came down with them. One clever little apple decided to try out the law of gravity and hit Lady Sunshine between the eyes, which alarmed me no end, but she said it was only a little 'ouch', more of a surprise than an ouch really.
So when I'm not making apple crumble, stewing apples, or giving apples away I'm thinking about new stories. Animal stories, mainly. What animals would you like to see in a story?
No Sunshines were harmed in the making of this blog.

hmmm, animal stories....write about a dog,.. A dog who does somthing heroic. :)
Maby a pet who helps somone to cope to a phyical or mental illness and maby this person is moving into an appartment and the landlord/lady is hassaling the owner over having this animal as an ESA ( emotional support animal--technicaly the houseing has to accomidate them due to ADA laws ) and the owner has to to futher mesures to make sure that the animal stays with him/her. Maby this animal can talk. Would this mean that it would be taken away forever. What if their is a new medical treatment where the treatment is getting a pet insted of pills and other invasive procedures.
Or maby a group of stray pets, maby.
Ok, this seems like somthing I would write, obviously...its obvious that I like writing about dogs/animals in general. I just trying to be helpful.
I love the pets as therapy idea!
