The Land Of Nod
.
When you live with greyhounds and a kitty, you live in the Land of Nod.
The Land of Nod
Robert Louis Stevenson
Â
From Breakfast on through all the day
At home among my friends I stay,
But every night I go abroad
Afar into the land of Nod.
Â
All by myself I have to go,
With none to tell me what to do–
All alone beside the streams
And up the mountain-sides of dream.
Â
The strangest things are there for me,
Both things to eat and things to see,
And many frightening sights abroad
Till morning in the land of Nod.
Â
Try as I like to find the way,
I never can get back by day,
Nor can remember plain and clear
The curious music that I hear.

I love it! It’s always been a poem I loved, but the Greyhounds and cat illustrations make it even better! 🙂 Well done!
Lovely post. Your house looks so restful. I have to admit I stared and stared at the first picture wondering what kind of dog it was. I should just have started reading! Love the DI picture too.

Ditto to what houndstooth said! 😀 Lovely post!! Must catch up on your posts later on…has been a bit hectic lately!
Omg this one got to me. I remember a very broken Nikki and the first time she exposed her belly. Look at her complete trust and comfort now! She waited for the very best family, and the only one I would have entrusted her with… the kindest people I know 🙂
