Love it!!!
From my world to your heart,

While celebrating their 25th Anniversary at the Pisgah Inn in North Carolina, A Perfect gift from the heavens started their vacation.
The Double rainbow was then sent on to me! What a lovely gift! Not just for me (and you), but from the Heavens, for Betsy and George.
Thank you so much, and Happy 25 Years of Bliss!

Chapter Five
“Oh!!! It’s scary out here. How did you manage, Hobbie?”
“I hid a lot. Then, gradually over time, I started to make friends.”
“Friends!!!”
“Yeah,
Deer are good friends.
Raccoons are hilarious and know how the whole farm works.
Skunk is nice, but a bit hard to be around. I learned the hard way about Skunk.
Then there is porcupine—that one has a short, short fuse and can reach out and swat you in a flash.
Lots of friends, TLC, that’s how you make it.”
Hobbs looked at me and started walking down the point of the Rocky Hill.
Down the road, we just walked up.
Remember this? The Lone Porcupine quill that stabbed me — Yep, that one.
It became infected. Then caused me to head to the ER. The infection moved to both feet until I couldn’t even walk.
What a mess! But, gradually, with antibiotics and pain meds, I can walk again, and the swelling has started to go down.
Sish!
Whoever would get stabbed by a lone quill? What a mess.

Chapter Four
Meanwhile —-
“Hey, Hobbs! Do you know where we are?” TLC sat down panting. “Hobbs! Stop! It feels like we are lost.”
Hobbie stopped, turned around, and looked at TLC. “We are not lost. We just ran around Coyote Hill. Right at this moment, we are sitting on the trail to the Rocky Point.
At the Rocky Point, we will be able to see all the way around us.
We will be able to see the Deep Dark Forest, the Cattail patch, over onto our Ranching Neighbors’ Place,
We can look back and see Coyote Hill, then if we turn completely around, we can see the farm and the start of the little field
where the deer like to hang out.”
Hobbs put his paw up and swung himself around, pointing out each and everything.
“It is the Rocky Point where we can see if there really are any wild dogs living on the farm.
It’s the Rocky Point where we can see where ALL the wild creatures live.”
Hobbs came and sat down beside me.
“Well, it’s starting to get late. The Sun is going to bed, and those wild creatures will start coming out. Being outside at night at the farmhouse is one thing; being out here right along with the wild ones is a whole other thing! TLC announced.
“Tell me about it,” Hobbs sadly said. “I was dumped out after years of living inside, never going outside. I had to figure things out pretty fast.”
TLC reached over and put a paw on Hobb’s paw. “Well, New Fur brother—You will just have to keep Boo Berry and me safe!”
“BOO BERRY!!!” TLC and Hobbs yelled together! “WHERE ARE YOU BOO BERRY!!!”
