She brings you good news...

... or haven't you heard?

Let the joyous news be spread, the wicked old witch at last is dead!

(Glinda) Come out, come out wherever you are
And meet the young lady who fell from a star
She fell from the sky, she fell very far
And Kansas she says is the name of the star

(Munchkins) Kansas she says is the name of the star

(Glinda) She brings you good news, or haven't you heard
When she fell out of Kansas a miracle occurred

(Dorothy) It really was no miracle
What happened was just this:
The wind began to switch the house to pitch
And suddenly the hinges started to unhitch
Just then the witch, to satisfy an itch
Went flying on her broomstick thumbing for a hitch

(Munchkin Man) And oh what happened then was rich

(Munchkins) The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch
It landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch
Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked witch
The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch
It landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch
Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked witch
Who began to twitch, and was reduced to just a stitch
Of what was once the wicked witch

(Munchkin 1) We thank you very sweetly for doing it so neatly

(Munchkin 2) You've killed her so completely
That we thank you very sweetly

(Glinda) Let the joyous news be spread
The wicked, old witch at last is dead

(Munchkins) Ding-dong the witch is dead! Which old witch?
The wicked witch Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead
Wake up you sleepyhead Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up the wicked witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go Below - below - below
Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead

(Mayor) As mayor of the Munchkin City In the county of the land of Oz I welcome you most regally

(Judge) But we've got to verify it legally To see...

(Mayor) To see...

(Judge) If she...

(Mayor) If she...

(Judge) Is morally, ethically

(Munchkin 1) Spiritually, physically

(Munchkin 2) Positively, absolutely

(Munchkin Men) Undeniably and reliably dead

(Coroner) As Coroner , I must aver I thoroughly examined her
And she's not only merely dead She's really most sincerely dead

(Mayor) Then this is a day of independence for all the munchkins And their descendants
Yes, let the joyous news be spread The wicked old witch at last is dead

(Munchkins) Ding-dong the witch is dead Which old witch?
The wicked witch Ding-dong the wicked witch is dead
Wake up you sleepyhead Rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up the wicked witch is dead
She's gone where the goblins go Below - below - below
Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low
Let them know the Wicked Witch is dead

Spring beauty

(Thanks for these last two pictures, Alpine!)

spotted terrors

Took the dogs to see the family a few weekends ago. My sister brought her Dalmatian over to play, and what a good time we had!



I think I'm about to get plowed!



Why are sticks so fun?



Luckily, there was no contact this time!



What's that they're all chasing?

Sticks and pinecones... nature really does provide the best toys...

... and the best entertainment!

Until the treats come out, that is. Sit, Booboo, sit! Good dog(s)!
