the tomten & the fox

the tomten returns ~

this time in the tomten & the fox ~

reynard the fox is hungry ~

so he goes out one night looking near the farm in the snow ~

the cows are asleep ~

the tomten watches over the henhouse ~

he shares his porridge with the fox ~

every night the children in the farmhouse leave out a bowl of porridge ~

for the tomten, they never see him, but they know he's there ~

charming story & illustration ~

winters come & winters go ~

another one from aunt marilyn :) ~
