Roadrunners also beat their food to a pulp before they eat it. Males often offer limp lizards to females as an enticement for hanging out together--for a long time: roadrunners are monogamous.
Did you know that Griffin used to have a couple of resident roadrunners? One of them tried to make a nest in the crepe myrtle tree outside of Lawrence's room and then came in through the open window. Lawrence had to shush it out. Can't you just see it? Especially today when Lawrence is dressed up like the queen in Disney's Sleeping Beauty?Halloween at Griffin is absolutely the best.
Some of my favorite books were "discovered" again. This week its was The Wall by Peter Sis (Call number NC975.5 .S57 A2 2007) and Kabuki Today photographed by Shunji Okhura. This second book is a rare one, beautifully packaged. (Call number PN 2924.5 .K3 1989).
I'm running out of time, so quickly, here are a few good spooky books in our collection for Halloween:
Ghosts (BF 1461 .G48 1984)
Wizards and witches by Brendan Lehane (GR 135 .L4 1984)
Into the Unknown (BF 1411 .I55 1981)
Witches by Erica Jong (!) (BF 1566 .J66 1982)
Oh yeah. That turtle I found behind the school a couple of weeks ago was an Ornate Box Turtle. I knew it was a male because it had glowing, red eyes. For real.
Bookishly yours (and shamefully un-costumed),Ingrid
