Cuteness

Here are some things that are "tens" on the cuteness chart. I hope they make you smile!

Baby horse at the farm down the road.

While we were walking down the highway to get a picture of the baby horse, a nice couple in a minivan stopped to ask if we needed a ride to the gas station at the corner. They thought we had been stranded. I am grateful for the good Samaritans that there are in the world - even if we don't always require their assistance.

"Babar And Father Christmas", pp. 34-35.

This is an illustration on pages 34-35 of Jean De Brunhoff's "Babar And Father Christmas". I love this drawing of the workshop beneath the snowy mountain, with the little room views in cutaway, the little dwarves going about their business, a crackling fire in Father Christmas' study at the top. Note the pulley cable on the ceiling of that room, above the fancy chandelier - that cracks me up!

"While Father Christmas shows him around, Babar explains that he has made this long journey to ask him to visit the Elephants' country. Won't he distribute toys to the elephant children, just as he does to the children of men? Father Christmas is much touched by this request."

I just think that is so cute!
