Skilligimink Sunset, Cleveland Heights, March 2nd, 2011

About a month ago (March 2nd, 2011) folks in Cleveland Heights were treated to a spectacularly Skilligimink sunset. The pinks were coming out so far from the horizon that it was absolutely astounding.

Alas, I only had my iPhone’s onboard camera and not my Canon, so you’ll just have to trust me. This wretched photo just doesn’t do it justice.

Continuing our exploration of the word Skilligimink, we check in on Howard R. Garis, the author of several books covering the adventures of Uncle Wiggily and his forest friends.

Here is a short chapter from his book “Uncle Wiggily and the Littletails” that shows a usage of the term. Click on to read the chapter, Susie and the Fairy Carrot (pdf).
