Dragons

I have a dragon, she is not my pet as much as she is my best friend. I don't own her any more than she owns me, but we are a team. Her name is Draccona, at least her English name is, I cannot pronounce her true name. She is metallic purple with irridescent halo colored wings. She has a crown of horns on her head and fins on her tail. Her tallons are Sterling Silver. Her Eyes are large orbs that swirl with all the colors of the ocean and skies. Her voice is melodious and sounds like silk when she speaks. 

  I have a supple leather saddle so I can ride her. We often take flight in the night. We travel to different dimensions and far off galaxies. We meet other dragonriders and have grand adventures!

 My favorite part of my Draconna is that only I and other dragonriders like me can see her. She uses this to her advantage and causes all kinds of harmless mischief! If you find your self seeing dragons I would encourage you to befriend your very own and ride!

If I were a Super Hero

If I were a Super hero what would my power be? Run fast as light? Jump high as the moon? Shoot Lazer beams out of my eyes? Sonic punch? None of these seem to fit me. I think I would like to send out mind waves that cause feelings of peace and love. I think that would be far better than ones that "battle". Just imagine the conflicts that could be stopped, possibly resolved just from encouraging peace and love!!

Tea with the Hatter

 Have just been to the Mad Hatters for tea and we had the most delightful conversation. If a dragon fly looks like a tiny dragon then why don't deerflies look like tiny deer or houseflies like tiny houses? If it rains on Sunday shouldn't we then call it Rainday? After a brief pause for another spot of tea to be poured we discussed literature  Door Mouse said his favorite book was Of Mice and Men. Hatter said he was disappointed with the Cat in the Hat. The Hare was reading Water ship Down and found it to be quite entertaining. The Cheshire cat was reading a book on Chris Angel and said he could disappear better than Chris could, but had to admit he could only make himself vanish not other objects which made him sad. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum were reading Mother Goose's Nursery Rhymes and said they could relate to poor Georgie Porgie! 

Winter

When I was a kid winter hit in late October, or early November if you were lucky, and lasted until late April, generally. I was 5 in 1978 when we had the big blizzard, but I remember every winter seemed like a blizzard to me back then. 

Seems like in the late 80's winter started to get more mild. In recent years it was normal to have a New Year thaw in January and just a few more snow falls that didn't really add up to much. Some years we even had a green Christmas.

 This year however seems like a corner has been turned and we are experiencing a winter more like those of my youth. Which is kind of funny in a way as that is how I feel the cycles of my life have gone. Not that I feel I will be returning to the violent storms of my childhood, but I have a greater understanding of the rest and rebuilding time that winter provides for nature and that sometimes a hard freeze is needed to kill the nasty bugs that can cause diseases. Oh but lots of fun can be had when the snowfall is plentiful enough, snowmobiling, skiing, and sled riding, as well as snowball fights, snowman building and snow angles all remind us that the fun of life can be found in all our seasons.
