September and the major arcana of this month is…Wheel of Fortune. Queen Magnet stands in front of an old (tractor?) tire with three of her henchraccoons climbing up, over, and down the tire.
Agnes is certainly colorful today. Golden fur, green eyes, pink sweatshirt, turquoise pants (or possibly skirt), purple backpack. She makes it all look harmonious. Styling, sister!
From Agnes’s journal: I’m standing in a trench, that was skillfully dug, by the freedom fighting moles. I can see just a hint of twilight, in the sky. So far, no sign of Wicket and his army…all is quiet, in the Western Wild Lands…
Puckmosis: Time to go back to the palace, guys. Queen Cat is entertaining an important visitor.
Beatrixia: Yes. I understand King Cadbury from Away is visiting.
Iggy: Shouldn’t that be King Catbury?
Puck: It changed somewhat through the years.
At the Royal Dining Room
Queen Catshepsut the Golden: It is my great pleasure to welcome our honoured guest, King Cadbury of Away, descendant of the legendary King Almon-Joybar!
All: Welcome, Your Majesty.
King Cadbury: Thank you all for that gracious welcome. And I’d like to give a special shout out to the renowned librarian, Beaver Lee Cleary.
Bev: You are most kind, Your Majesty.
Queen Cat: His Majesty would like to do a cultural exchange. With the discovery of so many scrolls believed to be from the Library at Meowlexandra, his scholars wish to take part in the research.
Elvis-Anum: And I would be pleased to offer my services to the project.
King Cadbury: Wonderful. I am pleased to announce the presence of the renowned Greek Scholar of Children’s Literature, Dr. Zeus!
This whole storyline is beginning to remind me of Andrew May, the Senator during WW II who is credited with the sinking of 10 American Submarines because he couldn’t keep his big mouth shut. He gave away secrets as to the actual depth American Submarines could dive at the time. A depth far deeper than the Japanese believed possible.
Meanwhile my backyard raccoon families are getting older and more rambunctious. Last night they knocked the top off the picnic table, which is made in two parts, a metal tubing base and a plexiglass top set in a round metal tube. The two parts are meant to be bolted together but something happened long ago to the bolts and now the top just sits on the base. Well, no longer – last night there was a huge clash CLANG! and then the sound of many small people running for the trees while the newly liberated top rolled several feet away before coming to a rest against a cast iron chair. We watched the night cam for about fifteen minutes until the babies got up the nerve to return and investigate the big clangy thing. Eventually they decided it was much more fun in its new, lower to the ground position and hid under and played around it. We have left it there for the moment because if it fell again it might hurt a baby.
In other news, the newest treasure the raccoons have brought to our yard is a green soapstone manatee. It’s quite a nice little hand carved statue and I think they must be getting into an attic somewhere, seems too nice to throw away. Coincidentally I read an article just this morning about manatees displaced and injured by the recent hurricane.

Randomly scrolling through the comic, like one does, I started reading the new rooms storyline. When Goldie shows Puck the windowseat with its scenic views of the front yard, what should be in that view? A mole hill! March 21, 2023

Apropos of nothing, two of the words from the NY Times spelling bee for today and “mice” and “mole”.

Looks like the typical “goodbye I’m off to war” scene. “Hold down the anchor desk” and Pucky is sad and brave and cheering her on at the same time..

America: Sister Golden Hair
Agnes: Well I’m gonna join my sisters as we head out to the field
There’s a story that needs telling and I know we’ll never yield
I’m not ready for the fighting
But I do know there’s a time
When a story needs a reason or a rhyme.
…….
Puck: I will keep on thinking about you,
Sister Golden Mouse surprise,
And I have no doubt about you,
If the need should then arise
Agnes: I am one war correspondent
The story’s not to hard to find
We will prevail, this is our time to find!
…….
Puck: Well I will keep the home fires burning
While you do your work out there
Everyone we know will be learning,
What is happening, we all care!
I know I won’t rest, but all I can do
Is wish you the best!
