Jesse You are Remembered

 I have no words...



B.C.'s animal rescue community is grieving the death of a Sooke man who was killed in Ukraine Sunday.

Jesse Adams, co-founder of RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, was evacuating animals from Kramatorsk, a city in eastern Ukraine, when he was killed, according to Animal Rescue Kharkiv (ARK).

"An enemy FPV [first-person view] drone attacked our vehicle, which had just been loaded with rescued animals," ARK said in a post on Facebook.

The Mad Hatter Tea Party

 

 We opened our mailbox and what did we see?

A wonderful invite for Hatters,

One...

Two...

Three!

We opened our dress-up box and gave a great cheer!

For the perfect Wonderland costumes were all waiting here!

Marv is a Card Soldier, quite noble to behold,

Though he's secretly planning blog stories bold.

Nutmeg's the White Rabbit, with watch held up high,

"I have a job and a schedule..." (but she hasn't a clue why!)

Jo-Jo is Alice in a lovely dress of blue,

Looking proper and sensible... as troublemakers do!

Kozmo's the Cheshire Ghost perched high in a tree,

Watching all the nonsense unfold with ghostly glee.

Through the Looking Glass and down the Rabbit Hole,

We'll be drinking Wonderland tea from a bowl!

So gather your whiskers, your tails, and your crew,

We look forward to pawtying with YOU, YOU, and YOU! 🐾



Dear Readers,

June told me this was to be a civilized tea party!
Five minutes later there were cards flying, mushrooms gossiping, and somebody put me in charge of quality control. Naturally, chaos ensued.

Oh Yes! Can I offer you a cup of Catnip Tea?
