Once upon a day not so long ago I was walking down the road not fast… but rather slow It was beautiful out there a day late in September I enjoyed the scenery as I well remember… Inhaling deep the healthy air while I looked around and there it was… waiting to be found A mushroom… red and white straight from a fairy tail and I decided to inspect every small detail So I fell on my knees my eyes are not that good to take a closer look under it’s speckled hood Right at that moment I heard some stranger say… with a smile in his voice: “Are they home today?” |

  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is soooooo cute, sweet friend, I believe in fairy-tales and this one made me smile just imagining the mystical beauty like in Alice in Wonderland! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Neeraja, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

A lovely fantasy poem, Neeraja... I have never seen a red and white mushroom, are they tasty? They probably look real pretty in a salad.  ~ fantasy hugsLyra |

Maybe I mixed up the english... I thought those things are called mushrooms, but now I've heard the name should be toad-stool... smile... well... can't change it now. By the way... the red with white speckled ones... I would not advice them for dinner...or any other meal... it is a very poisonous one!!!  Neeraja |

Indeed, the little ones are always home... you just have to knock very gently...  and a smiling face you've left me... |

How very sweet. I could see you there kneeling and I can hear the twinkle in that strangers voice. Very nice... SimplyGold |
