“Beautiful – Isn’t it?”
My best-est says to me – “Isn’t that poison ivy???” As I look closer…. “Yup I believe it is.”
The beauty of fall got me thinking, poison comes in all different forms.
One of my favorite forms is:
Mushrooms
In nature there is enticing beauty everywhere but a lot of it could probably kill me.
In our society there are many things that are so appealing, alluring, “safe” for you and we don’t even think about it – we just gobble it up. Just because something comes in lovely packaging doesn’t always mean it’s good.
I am glad I didn’t hug that tree because I would have poison ivy all over my face.
I hope you are enjoying fall as much as I am.

Absolutely guaran-TEED to be tested on captive animals, and made with child slave labor besides, somewhere where we don’t have to see it! What’s not to LOVE here?”

I know why the dormouse slept so much… he knew too much. Sometimes, I wish I could live in a little teapot and doze through the days. Feed your head!

Soon I think we will find ourselves surrounded with more people waking up. We just got smart assed and placed ourselves at the front of the wave, is all.

I got my $2.00 kite stuck up in a tree and my boyfriend at the time climbed up the tree to get it. He got poison oak all over him – huge blisters were over his entire body. He wanted to kill me… On a brighter note, the land I live on now there is a huge tree and the first time I saw it – I gave it a hug. I felt like I was being cradled by my ancestors and never wanted to let go. I now refer to this huge tree affectionately as Home Tree. ❤
