"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Pirate Cuties

I found these three friendly pirates at a yard sale last Saturday. I was thinking I'd like to apprehend some more of their crew. All week we've been searching the Internet to find more like them, to no avail. If you know who makes such toys, please leave a comment. There is a logo of two little round-headed angels stamped on the bottom of the boat. Does anyone out there know of a toy manufacturer with such a logo? These mateys are feeling quite marooned.

These little guys look like they could be of the Playmobil variety. There's a lovely website (playmobil.com) you can check out. If they're not the same, they are really close. : )
