Feather, Fur and Fin @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Feather, Fur and Fin" which means I want to see any animal or critter on your make.

This is what I did....


Another tag for the Christmas box.  The stamp is from The Cat's Pajamas, (who are no longer in business ): ).

"Feather, Fur and Fin" is a 2008 song by Danny Michel, who is from Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.  It's a commentary, and cautionary tale on how we treat the environment.  To give you a sample, the chorus goes:  "Every little critter | with feather, fur & fin | cried to Mother Nature | to come back for them | for every piece of litter | for every little sin | She cried for all of them | feather, fur & fin."  There is an official video for the song on YouTube, but I found it quite frantic and visually hard to watch, so if you want to hear the song, I would suggest you do so however you listen to music.  Unfortunately, not much has changed since 2008 and so the song is still very relevant today.  Danny Michel has another protest-style song he released in April 2025 called "Northern Star" which very nicely captured how most Canadians were feeling at that time, as well as paying hommage to past protest songs and artists.  Song title is linked to the YouTube video is you'd like to experience it for yourself.

Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us?  And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
