Underneath The Dancing Trees

by a.m. moscoso

When I was a girl I used to hear stories about a woman named Calabar Felonway who used to live in a town called Ninebones Cross and she used to travel to strange places and she collected strange things.

Once I heard that somewhere on her property, which was full of something called Dancing Trees, was a strange plant.

The plant that grew under the Dancing Trees was, I’m not kidding you, a plant that grew…

sheep

and the plant was called

The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary

I know, it sounds silly and hard to believe.

On the other hand Calabar Felonway, who lived and died outside of Seattle  was supposed to have been named for a Plague Ship.

The Story says that the Calabar Felonway washed up dead and corpseless two hundred years after she left London during the height of the Black Death in 1603.

The day they found her was also the day that Calabar Felonway was born in Ninebones Cross to a woman called Bartsia Butherbroom.

It’s true.

Every word.

Sometimes when you’re out exploring the world you can find some very awesome treasures like these:

neat-o

When you’re done on the phone vist:

Visit the Magic Showroom

It’s fun and there’s snazzy music in the background.

Museums -

They’re not just a storehouse for overpriced paintings and marble statues of naked people you know

Like there’s a

Museum of Hoaxes

( be advised they take a lot of traffic on April Fools Day )

My favorite page was the Hoax Photo Test

Before Nintendo started putting arcades into little over priced plastic boxes there were places like Aracades and they had things that you can find at

Melvin Wright’s World of Slot Machines

and then there’s the

MuseumLink’s Museum of Museums

 Museum of Museums will eventually contain links to every museum on the planet, from the world’s largest to the most obscure (assuming they have a website). See the very beginning of this effort at U.S. Museums by State or the newly started Canadian Museums.

I say we hold them to it.

While we’re WAITING for them to get set up we can check it out ‘as is’… I suppose…

Kittens At Play

Kittens at play in fields of clover

Bluebirds a ‘twitter in redplum trees

Pipers a’skirling the “Highland Rover”,

Sounds from afar as the mmmmmm of bees.

 

 

Human Cargo

 

The Calabar is picking up interesting human cargo on it’s way to the home of the Temple People.
