Today was another one of those lovely Springtime days, so the Whimsies wanted to spend it outdoors. So, as is their custom, they foraged through their Wardrobe until they found the perfect outfits for a day like this—all soft clothing, in a combination of solids, stripes and polka dots. (You may not be able to see it in this picture, but Trixie is wearing polka dot pants!)
The Whimsies also wanted to hang out with their miniature dinosaur pets, so after they took their daily walk all around Whimsieville, they settled down on the porch to hang out and play games. First, they all played the Memory game, and you would be surprised to learn what good memories dinosaurs have! Fred won. Then they played “I Spy” and 20 Questions, and Tag, and Red Light, Green Light, and they finished up the afternoon with a quick game of Kick Ball (at which, I am afraid to tell you, miniature dinosaurs are not very good at all—the Whimsies won! It was a shut-out.)
I managed to snap this lovely portrait of the happy group late in the day, when they were all starting to feel a bit tired, but, as you can tell by their smiles, obviously happy. And who wouldn’t be happy, with such a day of perfect weather, fun games and good friends?
All cozy-ed up in their Springtime Jammies, the Whimsies sat down with us to watch the latest episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. Some Springtime storms were passing through the neighborhood, so there was a large weather map, and two crawls, one on the top and one on the bottom of the screen, through which the show had to break through to make its appearance. It was annoying at first, but the action was compelling enough that we quickly forgot all about the weather annoyances, and concentrated solely on what was going on in the Marvel Universe. Afterwards, here are some of the things the Whimsies had to say about it.
Hi, everyone! Our plan for today was to go through our Wardrobe and find our prettiest Sprngtime dresses and do a Fashion Show for you. Yesterday was so lovely, and that was when we got the idea, but then our day got busy and we never got around to it, so we said, “Oh, well…there’s always tomorrow.” And now here it is…today…which is yesterday’s “tomorrow,” and yes the day has come as expected, but the Weatherman had different plans for this day. It does not feel at all like Springtime! It’s been raining since the moment we woke up, and we have not seen the sun at all. Miss Chrissy’s poor plants haven’t had a drop of sunshine all day, though she is still keeping the window blinds open, offering them a sort of dreary brightness (which is better than nothing, and truth be told, has its own particular charm).
First, here is the lovely Miss Trixie, dressed in a jammie outfit she likes to call “Froggie Fun.” As you’ll notice, the footies of Miss Trixie’s jammies are cute little frog faces! And the green and white terrycloth stripes seem just perfect, and perfectly comfortable, for a fine Spring day hanging out among the lillypads with the froggies, or…hanging out at home with your friends, watching movies! On the upper left of the outfit there is another little green frog, with the words “Cute As Can Be!” Oh, and isn’t Miss Trixie simply cute as can be in her “Froggie Fun” jammies!
Next, let’s take a look at Tillie, who has called her jammie outfit “Berry Sweet”—because that’s what it says around the large pink strawberry on her left hip, and also because Tillie herself is, in fact, Berry Sweet! You’ll notice how fun and lively all those big white polka dots look on the lovely green cotton backdrop. Miniature white polka dots in a field of pink surround her neck, her wrists, and the bottom of her feet! Yes, these are footie pajamas, but there will be very little walking about when wearing this jammie, since it is just perfect for lounging around the house on a rainy Spring day.
Now, finally, let’s have a look at the outfit I’ve chosen. I call it “Flower Power” because all these bright and colorful flowers against a white cotton background are making such a bold statement for the power of flowers to brighten one’s mood, even when the sun won’t shine all day. I’ve paired these jammies with some comfy pink socks to keep my tootsies warm. Oh, and one more thing you’ll notice about all of us. Snap, snap, snap! We’re all wearing snaps! Such a practical and unobtrusive way to keep our jammies in place.
Last time, Tessie wrote about Whimsies who always have their eyes closed, and how weird that is. This time, I’m writing about a particular Whimsie I’ve discovered who always has her eyes open — WIDE open!! In fact, I would say freakishly wide open! And look at her eyelashes!! Way too many eyelashes. No ordinary Whimsie has that many eyelashes.
First of all, who ever heard of a Whimsie with green eyes? Well, there is one other I’ve seen, her name is Fannie, but her eyes look normal while being green. Annie’s eyes most decidedly do not look normal. I’m guessing maybe she got herself into a place where there wasn’t quite enough oxygen, and the pressure started to make her eyes bug out. Ouch! Uncomfortable…
Oh! And here’s one more thing. Here’s another picture, of another one called “Annie the Astronaut.” You’ll notice she also has that peculiar wide-eyed stare, and the blue hands and feet, but this one has long, long hair, and the other has short, short hair. Now, maybe it’s the same gal, and she just pulled her hair up for the other picture, but if you ask me, it might be possible that there are a LOT of these Annie the Astronauts out there, like they’re….CLONED or something! Like maybe they’re robots, or from another planet!! Maybe they’re aliens, and this whole “Astronaut” thing is just a cover story for why they’re here on earth, but secretly, their plan is to conquer our planet and give us all blue hands and blue feet, and make us all stare off into space like that, like we’re possessed…
