I noticed a red-haired fairy sitting on my kitchen counter.
She appeared quietly focused, oblivious to the bumps, thuds, creaks and voices of her surroundings.
.
.
.
Fearful of piercing her ethereal absorption, I crept closer on socked feet to spy.
.
.
.
Her eyes moved from the window to her lap, her writing instrument scratching softly on the flesh of a long-dead tree paper.
.
.
.
I risked all to edge closer.
.
.
.
I must know what inspired this degree of keen regard . . . . .
.
Of course . . . . . . . it could only be a chicken.
A real-life chicken drinking from a fictional fishy pond.
While Rachel perched at the window, others in our house were taking a more physically active approach to their day.
Lincoln did push-ups and Prairie . . . .ahem, I mean Bonnie, the horse, galloped.
Wondering why Sidney was so quiet, I rotated my camera around until I found him.
He looks quite content, studying his drivers’ ed manual, dreaming about the days when he can drive to the grocery store to purchase Ben & Jerry’s Karamel Sutra ice cream to bribe his mom.
