“A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard...
Why can't we all be like that bird?”

Shhhhhhhhh. Do not disturb! There's some magic around our house today...A Wee bit of Irish Magic.

While the little Irish dude, all dressed in green, was collecting and stashing diamonds and lucky coins, I spotted him taking a short rest from his toils. I captured him for luck!!! [Oh I'll release him soon enough, but for now, he's mine...all mine.]

This enchanted kingdom is brought to you by: The magically delicious----

FLASH FICTION 55

In a land of fantasy he approached the fair maiden,
Alas! Damsel in distress.
Close now, he lifted his shining armor and spoke--
"Me thinks you could use my help m'lady"?
She looked up; smiled her toothless smile...
Ancient face, pocked skin, quite smelly...
Sweating, shaking and panting, he sudenly awakened...
'twas only a KNIGHTmare!!

  10. Hi Anni! LOVE your post today, and all your St. Patrick's Day decorations! I've been working on a few myself here, and then hope to decorate around the house more over the weekend!.. We'll see what I can get to, though, and at what time allows! I must confess, I've been glued to the set, watching all the Olympic events! Loved the skating last night, and can't wait to see the hockey today! ~tina

  24. Hi Anni,
    So very nice to meet you. I like your Irish post. My heart pounds with excitement like the fair maiden in hopes one day t0 meet my Knight.

    I love the Gulf of Mexico. I just moved from the gulf coast. I lived by South Padre Island for over 40 years. I grew-up spending summers at the island. My father loved the gulf, so when he passed away he asked for his ashes to be sent to sea. He is my Knight!

    Yoli :)
