the 'good' gossip, that is…

The first ever Non-Book-Non-Garden-Blog Tour

.

.

On Tuesday, May 18th, Katie Elzer-Peters has coordinated a GIANT  ’Non-Book-Non-Garden-Blog-Tour’ to honor the release of her friend’s new book Claire de Lune, by Christine Johnson.  This book is geared towards the young-adult market and is filled with scary werewolves, teen romance, spooky forests and lots of hormones….

.

Take a break from gardening today and be a part of this fun event by reading what other non-book related blogs are doing to commemorate the release of werewolves into bookstores near you!

The All New – 2010 Chicken’s Werewolf Survival Guide

.

.

.

.

.

Okay – you knew it was bound to happen.  Despite your best laid plans, a werewolf snuck into your beautiful little garden and you can’t get it to leave.  Now what?

.

First off – you need to know a little about these garden pests.  Sluggo isn’t going to be very effective. Either will coyote-urine or gopher traps.  There’s not much you can do except one thing:  TRY TO AVOID BEING EATEN.

,

This is especially hard if you’re a chicken.

.


Everyone knows werewolves adore the taste of chickens – actually preferring them to humans.  A werewolf’s stomach is quite small so they prefer eating lots of small meals instead of a few large ones (a healthy diet tip we can ALL benefit from!).

.

Anyway – back to the chickens.  If you happen to BE a chicken, here’s what and what NOT to do.

,

.

.

.

Do NOT try and hide in a dark maroon plant if you’re WHITE.  Bad move, Chicken.

.

.

.

.

.

Do NOT travel alone – use the buddy system at all times.

,

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

WAKE UP LADIES!

.

Now is NOT the time to take a nap!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

If you find yourself alone and you spot a werewolf….stop….look….and HIDE.  But not just your head – your whole body!

,

.


.

.

.

Werewolves aren’t the brightest bulb in the chandelier so if you’re spotted by one and you happen to be near a statue, FREEZE and mimic it.

.

.

Whether it’s a chicken statue…..

.

.

.

A Frog statue……                                 Or a little cement bird, do whatever you can to BLEND IN.

.

.

.

And if, by chance, you’re caught out in the open – don’t act cocky (no pun intended) and TAUNT THE WEREWOLF with a chicken dance.

.

.

Instead, run to the nearest and largest living creature you can find.

,

.

.

.

.

.

Whether it’s a dog…

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Or whether it’s a Grandpa….the main thing is to pal around with someone larger & stronger than yourself (another good lesson we could all benefit from!)

.

.

.

.

.

.

At the end of the day, you must remember that all is not as it seems.  Yes, there IS a landscape larger than the one you see….so beware!
