EC began her day checking on all the forest creatures to make sure everyone had what they needed. She always brought her basket because sometimes, Squirrel had extra nuts or Blue Jay wanted to dispose of a ribbon that did not go with her nest. And, she liked to collect dandelion fuzz in season because Mouse liked it in her pillow.

George was busy digging little gullies aimed at the plants who needed water. He was an outdoorsman, whereas, some of the Little People were crafters. Juanita, for instance, could do just about anything with pieces of wood. Carl was a weaver. Grass, thread, old rope ends. He was even known to snip pieces of aluminum cans and weave them into his tapestries. Bonjockay fancied himself an artist. He preferred working with flower petals and often enjoyed fabricating outlandish costumes for his partner, Fred. Fred cooked. Mostly wild foods, of course. But, he had a way with them. Nutcakes. Nettle tea over honeycomb. Burdock root soup with floating marigold blossoms. Very tasty.
