Oh, not a stretch at all! What a sweet treat to enjoy an "old fashioned" donut with Francois and Monsieur Olivet! Of course, when opportunity knocks! Then comes the stretching, and exercise...Hee hee! :o)
ReplyDelete'old fashioned' donuts are my favorite. I am remiss I didn't think of that. Great fun! As always, I love your watercolor style.
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness! How adorable he is. And those old fashioned donuts are sooo good - especially if they are slightly warm. *drool* I haven't had one in yeaaars!
ReplyDeleteit's not a stretch, it's adorable as always. My son loves old fashioned Cider doughnuts that we get at the apple orchard, they are good, especially when they are fresh.
ReplyDeleteOooohh yummy doughnuts (funny how us Brits spell things differently!!) and how Francois is enjoying them, I'm sure he will lick the sugar off his paws! I actually had an old fashioned cake as a treat today when I went to see my parents....bread pudding, now I had not had a piece of that for years...:0)

ReplyDeleteOh wow, I have such a craving for donuts now.
Adorable! See? That's why you should ALWAYS keep fresh donuts on hand, just in case small children drop by. Or big children. Or your inner child. And I LOVE that you put the donuts in a pink bakery box! YAYYYYY! Absolutely old fashioned. Tied up with red and white string, no doubt.
