This reminded me of a game from childhood we called “Dancing in the Moonlight”. It was a sort of tag, and you had to play at night in a place with light and shadows. We innocent creatures would waltz about as far from the safe home base as we dared, singing “dahncing in the moooonlight”. Then suddenly a monster would leap from the shadows and catch as many as they could before we could get back safe home. I don’t think there was really any more to it than that, but somehow that was enough.

oh my eyes and whiskers

warm weather wishes wafting away on the cool autumn breeze

looking for bridges to burn?

I have two lilac bushes in my yard that got confused by the summer drought, and are getting ready to bloom – strange and wonderful.
