Part of being the tortoise

Nearing fifty years,
  still young.

At least two centuries to go.

Part of why I choose my friends carefully.

Pixie will be there,
  part of the farie world.

Brings me to the flutterby.

Not just a passing thought,
  another dream,
   grown to a part of the garden.

By the grace of the Pixie,
 became our home.

Strawberry Tea?

Easy to take a nap when you just pull back into your shell. I just dread looking at what color you two painted me.

Well with it becoming Autumn.. I wanted sunflowers but then "Filoma aka flutterby" carrying the paint..caught her wing on a web.. shocked we were..until Filoma said "omg that reminds me of my mother's wings" (her mum "flew" with the peace corp) so we decided to do a tie-dye look for this week .. Peace garden wanderer ( ;
