He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

Quote of the day, from Maurice Sendak:

Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

What's made you smile today?

It's finally Fall in North Carolina so the leaves have changed and a slightly warm rain is bringing them down off the trees in large fluttering clouds. The dog found an abandoned pig ear and carried it protectively for the half-mile walk home.
