Chapter 230703: Flambé’s latest Misadventure ………………. July’s Full “Buck” Supermoon

“Your growing antlers are proof of your intimate place in the forest—for of all the things that live and grow only the trees and the deer shed their foliage each year and replace it more strongly, more magnificently, in the spring.” – Felix Salten

A Fairy Tale in Silhouette – as told by Flambé

Once upon a cloudless night, in a field of Warts ‘n Wobbles, roamed a fabled Vipson deer. The young buck, proudly dressed in softly felted antlers, quietly sniffed the air. He detected an artificial Hush afoot; a loud quiet in disguise, deeply hidden in newly-cropped Walu. His common-sense caution, an inherent trait which has served Vipson for as long as a day is honest, was suddenly overcome by his curious nature. Even tangles of braided Irevir wound tightly around his hooves were only momentarily effective in distracting the buck from investigating. The lush Oasis he called home has surely been invaded by a PdA …… a pesky darn anomaly, a peculiarity desiring admittance, a paradoxically divergent aberration ….. and the source must be rooted out, tout sweet!

“An egg is always an adventure; the next one may be different.” -Oscar Wilde

Well, that’s turned out to be the understatement of the month! Read Flambé’s full post to learn why her Misadventure resulted in a colorful twist!

Chapter 230306: Flambé’s latest Misadventure ………………. March Full “Worm” Moon

March 6-7, 2023. The March Full “Worm” Moon

As Spring blows in across the Northern Hemisphere, liquifying the last bits of ice and snow, rainbow-colored water droplets begin to penetrate thawing ground. If you have hearing like Kat, you’d be able to detect a distinctive “unzipping” noise made by thirsty compacted soil as its pores open wide to receive the welcome runoff. All this soil soaking and swelling creates an underground uproar; hundreds of thousands of micro- and macroscopic critters wake from their winter slumber to get on with their important job of soil building.

The saying, “as the worm turns,” now assumes the literal meaning. Earthworms and their kin play a crucial role in soil development as they “worm” their way around under the earth’s surface.
