WedWords: Fairy Hell

Fairy Lane

Being a fairy is no easy job, I tell you.  I know; I have been one for years, and hated every moment.


Oh, sure. Some fairies paint flowers, some water lovely green plants. Their primary job is to care for the planet, keeping it healthy and green. Those fairies’ skin shimmer with a fluorescent glow, their clothing is cross-stitched with spider webs, and their boots are soft butterfly cocoons.

My job? My job?  I am in charge of slugs and carnivorous bugs.  In fact, I am President of Chapter 207 Union of Scavenger Bugs. One assassin bug attacked me, put me in fairy hospital for a week.  Best week of my miserable life, the only best week.

If there were even one thing about my job that I loved, that would be wonderful.  But as it stands now, I live in fairy mud hell.

These are fun and I always love playing with them.  Post your take in their comment section or at your own site!

The Extreme Work Ethic


A rapidly moving trail of ants signaled something big was happening.  Fortunately, the “big” event was happening outside, on the concrete by the pool.


Ants are amazing creatures.  They are industrious; they work together; they don’t pay taxes; and, they are relentless when it comes to food.


These are a series of photos taken when the source of food was picked clean. 



Can you see what it is?
