Serious Silliness and a Strawberry Moon

The Cart is filled to the brim with glorious silliness
on this lovely almost-summer eve.
Things with wings flit about frivolously.
A fine-feathered friend guards a tiny treasure. And a flirty fairy is prone to flights of fancy. A merbaby swims with a starfishy friend.
Giggling gifts from the garden include a lemony lass. . .
a green-hatted gnome. . .
and a buttoned-up bloom.
A mischievous jester fails to frighten,
while his skinny sidekick attempts a jig.Moon-faced friends
have come down from the heavens to play along.

. . .

There's a Strawberry Moon tonight. Apparently, that's what it's called when a full moon falls right in the middle of strawberry season. Strawberry Moon-- how delightful! I'm listening to the night as I type this. A owl calls to another owl (I love that!) as frogs chirp and traffic whooshes quietly by. I can hear deer or elk tiptoeing along nibbling on wet foliage. Somewhere in the distance I can just hear the ocean sighing. Soft moth wings barely touch the window panes as those little things-with-wings try to get to the inside light.

Today was good.

Today is done.

Tomorrow is another one.

  11. I agree w/ you 'Artfulife'. Strawberry Moon. It just rolls sweetly off the tongue doesn't it? I have never heard that expression before.
    Jo..your newest babies & critters are marvelous! I don't even want to try to pick a favorite, although the little moonfaces are waving their hands at me saying, 'Pick me, pick me!!'. LOL
    Would you consider just loaning me your imagination for a day or two? I'm sadly in need of a good portion of whimsy!
    Hoping for HUGE sales for you.
