adventures in fairyland

January 18, 2014

{this adventure comes to you by way of a blue jay named fred.}

today, i tried to land on a cloud.

my mother told me about clouds, but the world is so white and i was flying so fast that i really thought the cloud was a snowbank.

fortunately, i caught myself as i tumbled through the white mist.

right now, i am sitting in a lilac bush. i am going to have a snack and collect myself before i go home and tell my mother about my adventure.

(as i was tumbling through the cloud, i found myself wishing that i was tumbling down a snowbank. doesn’t that sound fun? let’s try it sometime.)

your friend, fred

  1. Birds have a freedom that we can only imagine. My father wanted to be reincarnated as a seagull. The jump from musician to bird may not be so great.

    Jerry: I love that story! You might run into him at the ocean without even knowing it.

    Tammy: Fred says hello back!
