Aww a real life mailman is going to rescue Bea. Puck will be so excited to hear about it. Finally he’ll have others who believe the legend of the mailman.
(Wait.) Oh yes, wait a minute, Mr. Postman(Wait.) Wa-a-a-ait, Mr. PostmanPlease Mr. Postman, look and see. (Oh yeah.)Is there a ladder in your bag for me?(Please Mr. Po-o-ostman.)‘Cause it’s been a mighty long time (Whoa, yeah.)Since I heard from this human of mine
There must be some word todayFrom my human who’s not far awayPlease Mr. Postman, look and seeIs there a ladder, a ladder for meI’ve been stuck here waiting, Mr. PostmanSo-o, so patientlyFor a rope or just a ladder so someone can come and rescue me
Awesome, what does he do next? Does he go to the big house and borrow a tall ladder thus letting its feline residents that Beatrix has been found by a human?
I notice a little color in the leaves, are the leaves already starting to change up in New England? The one’s we have in Central Florida that do turn color (cypress, sweet gum, Florida maple, crepe myrtle) do not change until late November,,,,,,
Hurrah for the mailman! Looks like he has a nice stroll through the woods as a part of his route so Bea’s tree might be further from the houses than we thought yesterday. Might take longer to get a ladder than we hoped.
Well, Georgia has always said that she thinks mailmen are heroes. How appropriate that he’s so kind to the little critters of the forest and now will be the one to rescue Beatrix! I BELIEVE IN MAILMEN!!!
My cat Max had been abandoned by his previous people, but was also rescued by a mailman, who would share his tuna sandwich lunch with him, giving him the nickname “Tuna.” He brought Tuna to a hospice run by some nuns, who had a feral cat colony on their grounds. The sisters called the TNR rescue group that tended to the colony, to help Tuna, through which we wound up adopting Tuna, now Max. So this story line resonates with me and Max. We KNOW there are mailmen!!

National POW/MIA Recognition Day —I will NEVER FORGET.
National Concussion Awareness Day —Right now, I’d like to give a few to Apple corporate. That’s another story you don’t want to hear.
World Bamboo Day —Bamboo, a useful weed that wants to take over the world. Since bamboo is essentially a grass, I wonder if anyone has tried smoking it … probably, and were probably … well, just ask Robin.
National Grenache Day —Let’s all drink to that—in all its varieties and blends.
National Cheeseburger Day —Yes, you can haz chizborger! One of the greatest comfort foods ever invented. Who invented it is a matter of debate, but can never be resolved because it’s very hard to debate when your mouth is full.
Rice Krispies Treats Day —Not quite empty carbs, in fact, they are fully loaded. My favorite of such things is Anderson’s Candy Shop’s dark chocolate Krispy Rice bar. Sheer delight that makes the factory brands look very anemic. They do mail order. Yes, you are doomed.
Can anyone tell me what Thimblefist is doing? (Other than shouting comfort at Beatrix) I see only one thimble, and he seems to be holding that one like a cup? Can anyone see him more clearly than I can? Thanks!
Seriously, Bea? You live in a bookstore, look up thousands of things daily in both books and online. And you believe Elvis is right about mailmen? Put your faith in Puck!

Bette Midler: Wind Beneath My Wings
It must have been cold there through the night time
To feel so helpless and unknown
If anyone out there knew you were missing
But you were never all alone
…….
A squirrel and a chipmunk were beside you
Your cat friends were all standing by
The humans were all without a clue
But there was one to rescue you!
…….
Do you really know that you’re all heroes?
And everything I would like to be
Somehow we will all work together
To rescue a kitten from a tree!
…….
At last a human’s taken notice
There’s a kitten needing aid
Soon everything will be alright
There will be no need to be afraid!
…….
Do you really know that you’re all heroes?

Baby cat needs some help to the ground
She got in trouble & it’s a cryin’ shame
But Thimblefist & Homestyle are at the top of their game
They’re sweet as honey but Bea’s gotta get home
Magical mailman, please lend Bea your phone
Mewin’ ‘bout your troubles and baby, as you’ve learned
Don’t climb so high next time ‘cause you’re gonna get burned
Mailman is here now & we hope he saves you
Thanks to Homestyle’s acorn, yeah, her aim was true
Drop all your worries & let your fears subside
Ride a mailman’s shoulders & let the chickadees fly
