Since this weekend was the 75th Anniversary of one of my favorite Disney movies, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, here's a photo of a statue depicting J. Thaddeus Toad holding the deed to Toad Hall that I encountered earlier this year at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

"And instead of having an uneasy conscience pricking him and whispering 'whitewash!' he somehow could only feel how jolly it was to be the only idle dog among all these busy citizens."

"#Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of #DivineDiscontent and longing"
Mole, reacting to the first days of spring in #TheWindInTheWillows,

All credit to #CosgroveHall and #ThamesTelevision who, in 1984, adapted the Edwardian pagan fever dream #ThePiperAtTheGatesOfDawn as part of their brilliant stop motion #TheWindInTheWillows children’s TV series.
#PeterSallis (later Wallace in Wallace and Gromit) plays Rat and #RichardPearson plays Mole.

English psych having something of a theme of acid teacups and magic rabbitholes, #PinkFloyd’s debut album was named after the deeply trippy, mystical chapter in #TheWindInTheWillows where Mole and Rat encounter the god Pan. Lured in by his music, they worship him and he helps them find the otter child Portly who they have been searching for.
Too much for full alt text here but you can read/listen to the whole chapter at this link: https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/105/the-wind-in-the-willows/1804/the-piper-at-the-gates-of-dawn/

Was thinking to re-read The Wind in the Willows in the Spring, but I'm starting it sooner to go along with The Comfort Book Club by Miranda Mills (do check her wonderful YouTube channel).

"The Mole was bewitched, entranced, fascinated. By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spell-bound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea."
~ The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame -
“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”
