Legend has it if the garden fairies grow more buttons than they need to mend their garments, the remaining ones will blossom into daisies overnight.
a mean meadow pirate
Disguising itself as a vine, the dragon coiled his way up the stem and looked out over the meadow. He was a mean meadow pirate, wary of garter snakes and lawnmowers, and desperate to eat all the strawberries hidden in the lawn before the children came and gobbled them up.
the promise of future blueberries
Their crowns are awkward and just a little bit big but they wear them with pride, for they are future blueberries and that is a wonderful thing to be, to find…and to eat.
the prankster
She hid behind the tire and waited. Soon someone wandered by and she pounced, laughing gleefully at the woman’s horrified screams. She could do this all day.
rosy maple monk
The rosy maple moth became a nature monk and took a vow of silence. He trained in the natural arts and spent much of his time clinging to windows and contemplating the mysteries of reflection.
listen up
“Listen up, troops. We’ve got a lot of work to do and not much time to do it.”
Mr. Polyphemus
Mr. Polyphemus spent the few days of his adult life chasing the moon about the night sky, then he settled onto a forgotten shelf to die in serenity, dreaming of catching the moon at last.
butterflies
The meadow was in a terrible mood. “Oh dear,” thought the nature fairies, and sent in their best team of butterflies to tickle the blossoms and lift the meadow’s spirits.
ghosts
Steam rose from the road after the last of the rain fell; ghosts of forgotten roadtrips and friendships forged on summer pavement.
sea monsters
Burgle the sea monster wasn’t much to look at, but that doesn’t matter. When not chasing fish about the bay, he spends his time collecting the best of the flotsam and jetsam to cast upon the shore at high tide. He hasn’t seen a treasure chest in years, but he’s hopeful one with turn up soon.
