Collections and recollections

I am now collectiing illustrations by Susan Wheeler, creator of Holly Pond Hill, a delightful woodland community of small creatures inhabiting tree trunks and riverbanks. "It's a very happy, uncomplicated world where the love of the Lord abides."
I was reading in a marvelous book of animal facts that a hibernating dormouse, curled up into a tight little ball, can be rolled across the floor and remain sound asleep. A hibernating marmot's heart will continue to beat for ten hours after his brain and spinal cord have been completely removed. A good many birds sleep standing on one leg. The Lord, the Creator of both humans and animals, is absolutely amazing!
