Mystery getting started

I am helping Butch solve a mystery he has been wondering about for a long time. He sees the bee boxes in the back all lined up. He wonders what happens in them. On different occasions he has been out there and seen bees flying in front of it. But never has he seen inside the box. I had the person Linda get a book from the library that might help us to understand it.





We took a walk out back so Butch could show me what the boxes look like.





We decided to venture up to the boxes to get a closer look. But we had to be careful cause bees stinggggggggggggggggg.




We decided we needed a closer look so we moved up closer................................





Oh my buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is all we are hearing maybe we need to move a tad away oh my buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lets go Butch....................Oh my our hats popping off our heads-good thing the net is holding so the bees cannot sting-bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....



All for now
Your most blessed Agatha and Butch back at the house no stings.............

Hitty Agatha in Flintstone

Well I could fill my box being moved. A chill came over me as I figured I was being taken outside. I could fill something hitting the box maybe rain. Oh my now am being put down and could fill something being set on me-it was not heavy. I am here for a time not sure how long. Then I can fill being lifted up and could hear a door open and plop I am set down. It is warm here . All of a sudden I can feel my box being opened. I can hear voices-lots of voices. Where am I , I wonder, am I in Flintstone? Is that some of the Yabba Dabba Doo Hittys I hear.I hear one saying It has HITTY written on the box.




Then I hear AGATHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA are you in there? Yes I ammmmmmmmmmmmm help me out please.



Oh my I am carefully unwrapped and I see a most welcoming Welcome Bunch. Hi, I am Butch, Hi I am Laura, Hi, I am Steffie and then I see a hand reaching out for me and saying ok everyone let her get her breath we can all meet later. Hitty Gerty helps me out.



I get my breath and go to the front door of a big house where I am greeted again by Becassine and Becassine Tina. Welcome Agatha we are so happy to have you in Flintstone.



So many wonderful Hittys and friends to help me solve the mystery of........................well later we will tell you

Goodbye Agatha from The Country Hittys

By the time you read this dear friends I will have boarded the postal bus and be on my way
to Maryland. I am so excited about this leg of my journey. I have been told by the Country
Hittys that I will be welcomed into a very large Hitty establishment. These dear little country
Hittys seem quite in awe of the splendor and size of the Hitty family that awaits me. I shall
endeavor to take some nice long naps enroute so that I might arrive rested and refreshed, ready to meet
any new adventures!
The last view I had of the Country Hittys was as their person was carrying
me away to my traveling accommodations. The girls were all waving and urging me to return soon.





Aren't they a charming little group?

p.s. I have been told that Hetty is under house arrest by Sheriff Wally. I fear that she will soon
escape custody!!!

Hitty Noel and dollies

It is nearing the end of my stay with the Country Hittys. I have been packing my bags in preparation for my
departure. I was busily folding and sorting when a small delagation of Hittys came to ask my help. They
asked if I might spend a bit of time with their Hitty Noel. I believe I mentioned her earlier. She was the
one who was so taken with the cradle and dolly that I have with me. Pleasant reminders of my childhood
that will accompany to my eventual permanent home. At any rate I of course agreed to the request to
visit with Noel. It seems that my earlier observation was correct. Noel is quite "young". She is shy and
most happy at home among her sisters.
She is much cosseted by them and is a gentle little soul. She has a large collection of dollies which she was
eager to share with me.











We had a lovely afternoon examining her collection.
Tomorrow I shall finish my packing and bid all a fond farewell.

Next mystery.......................Agatha meets Hetty

While I was being fitted for my apron and bonnet I asked the Hittys if their dogs were guard dogs or just
companions. They told me that their German Shepherds were members of the family but also they helped
the Hittys with their flock of sheep-lets! Aha I thought to myself that is why Hetty wanted those puppies!! The
babies were in no danger of being made into puppy pies by Hetty they were going to be raised to herd a flock.
But Hetty did not have any sheeplets according to my hosts. I immediately ran to find Sheriff Wally. I knew where
Hetty was going to find her flock!!





From a distance Wally and I spotted the flock and was that a wagon?? With someone loading
sheeplets into it???




Could this be the nefarious Hetty??!!! Was I finally to meet this terror
of the countryside?? Would I survive the meeting???!!!

We advanced upon her. Wally had his gun drawn and I was right there....ready to make the arrest!!



Finally I meet the terrible Hetty face to face.




Wally is there to insure my safety. Hetty has
a rather smirking little smile. She asks my name and when I tell her she congratulates me
on my remarkable detecting skills. She is a strange one this Hetty. I feel that the Hittys
here in Mo. will never really be secure from her misdeeds. Even with Sheriff Wally trying
to keep them all safe. However Wally and the Hittys assure me that all has ended well
with my able assistance. The puppies are restored to their rightful home, the sheep have
been herded back to the corral. All is well that ends well here on the farm.


HOw exciting to see the result of my deductive reasoning!!


The Hittys are so pleased that the sheeplets are safe. They insist that I pick out a sheeplet to take on
my future journeys....??!!!!




Oh my, I can only hope that my future hostesses are not as appalled as
I am at the thought of arriving in their homes with livestock!!!

Missing puppies continued..........

On the trail of the missing puppies I consult with a witness to the strange person seen pushing
a pram across the field.



The witness is quite adamant as to the direction taken. I shall go fetch
one of the Hittys to accompany me.

Hitty Anne eagerly agrees to accompany me. We decide that the parents of the missing puppies might
aid us in our tracking efforts.



They are willing and biddable canines. We are off!! I am sure we are
on the right path.


Hettys Hideaway!!! We are successful!! We have discovered the rural retreat of the infamous Hetty
Hickory. And inside are the precious missing puppies!




They have been well cared for but our most
happy to be reunited with their parents. Hitty Anne is overjoyed to see them. Sheriff Wally is also
pleased and even more pleased with me! I have discovered not only the missing puppies but also
the MISSING BONNETS!!!



We pack up the bonnets for their return to the rightful owners....




the Hittys! Oh the satisfaction
I feel concerning this "double whammy!"


I thought you might enjoy another picture of the puppies and their parents.
It does bring a tear to the eye.








The Hittys are so thrilled with the return of their pets and their bonnets that they insist upon
making me a new bonnet and apron. They assure me that ALL country Hittys must have aprons
and bonnets. They search their supplies to find a nice lilac that will go with my frocks. I am
very pleased with their efforts.







They really are quite dear.

Agatha here......................Meeting Sheriff Wally...

Dear Friends,
Just a quick note to let you all know I am well and safe
so far. I am off this morning to meet with Sheriff Wally.
I am in hopes he will be able to provide me with additional
clues concerning this puppy napping incident. I do have
some theories. Ta ta for now, I will be contacting you all
later today.
Agatha



Finally I meet the famous Sheriff Wally. My, my..as they say in Tulsa he certainly is a
tall drink of water!!!







He was very helpful but I fear he may be a trifle naive concerning
just how crafty this Hetty may be. He says that she is "trifle cantankerous". I can hardly
wait to meet her face to face!! The good sheriff did promise to provide any all support
that law enforcement could provide in solving the Pupppy napping!


As I was preparing to leave the Sheriff mentioned that someone had seen a "lady" pushing a buggy
out across the field.





Chilly weather to be taking the air with babies he thought. I asked if it could
be Htty and he laughed aloud!!! "Why of course not, that Hetty is shore not the mothering type".
But could it have been her? and if so ...what was in that buggy?!



GASP!!!! Dear readers, this is a glimpse into that buggy. OH the poor little dears!!






Agatha has not seen this but she has her suspicions and surely she will uncover the
dreadful plot before it is....................too late.
