I was watering The Holler flowers,
daydreaming, not paying attention,
when out of the corner of my eye, I spied,
baby Hunca Munca and her three little brothers,
desperately climbing and clinging to the fountain grass.
I had inadvertently flooded their nest!
Needless to say, I gave watering a rest.
Cheers to you from all the living creatures at The Holler~

“The sun shone through them, revealing a pattern of interlacing, delicate blue veins, visible through the opaque petals; this added something alive to the flower’s fragility, to it’s ethereal quality, something almost human, in the way that human can mean frailty and endurance both at the same time.” Irene Nemirovsky
