a welcome addition

and now to introduce a new and welcome addition to my foresty family.


he arrived by post a few days ago.


meet...




Percival "Percy" Eugene Worthington, II.


he hopes you will be his friend.

according to Percy, he was named after Sir Percival, one of the knights of the round table. (his legend tells that he was raised in the forest, unconscious of the existence of any humans other than himself and his mother, until one day King Arthur and his knights rode by and young Percival knew that he was destined to find the grail.) Percy has lots of friends, and he loves to garden. He is especially fond of his linum rubrum.

I decided to take some pictures of Percival and Cecil. it seemed like a good thing to do, so we went a'walking. They walked in the garden...

swung (swang? swanged? swong?) on the swing...






...and a good time was had by all.
