Well...but the taxes are taken out automatically and I never see the money either come or go. It's kind of like...I'm one of those people who doesn't care whether or not the government uses my money for free throughout the year, I like getting a chunk back in the Spring. I intellectually know that it's going and that I'm paying (or getting my money used), but I don't care if I don't see it-- what matters is what I can see in my hot, grubby fist

Where is everybody? Happy Lammas/Lughnassad, all!
I don't know anyone else who's ever heard of it! The illustrations are just gorgeous.
He's 10.5yo and he's way into fantasy chapter books right now. Mostly with animals. Anthropomorphic ones. I wonder actually if he's old enough for Watership Down
We did kind of make it a Samhain holiday tradition, for awhile, reading Heckedy Peg. He always said he hated it, but I love it and made him sit through it anyway till he got used to it
