Oh my goodness.. I am so happy to be back by the Oak. I have spent much time following the Ant Circus as they made their way thru the Garden, and it was so much fun, I learned allot about Ants. Never gave them a great deal of thought, or courtesy, up until recently.

I will afford them much of the later after watching their Circus, they are a very busy one minded bug, yet work together like the bestest of friends. I wondered how they did that, so I asked the one operating the Ferris wheel. He gave me the most quizative look and muttered something often told to me by other Garden residents.. “Humans are strange creatures and one day I would understand”.. and then he went back to operating the Ferris wheel, which made the Ants stuck at the top very happy. I apologized as a matter of manners, and they appeared pleasantly surprised at my efforts to do so, as if they expected something less..

I walked away pondering..and to be honest..by the time I made my way back to where they had been..the Circus had moved on..probably a good thing, since I had missed sitting by the Oak and watching the clouds.

I see our feather is lying by the tree, I must have forgotten to put it away in the Secret place where we hide all our treasures, but now there is something new next to it..a very pretty jeweled box..hmmm...I wonder what is inside..any guesses at what it might hold?

I think I will just sit here a bit and look very closely at it, maybe pick it up..if I get brave, one(s) never know about boxes, even as pretty as this..hmmmm..
