The Shed 3

Good Morning Shedites! I Hope Today goes your way! Have a good one! Syx.

Hope everyone is having a great day!! The sunshine has left and we are cold & rainy here today, it would have been the perfect day to stay in bed.

I had planned on adding to my story this morning but work got in the way. Hopefully I will have it ready this evening.

Hello Syx, Martin and Everyone! It is my day out with my best friend and should be gone for some time, but will be back by late afternoon/early evening. Wishing you all a very pleasant day! Looking forward to your next story entry Martin! Speaking of story entries...Syx you big ole dragon you, where is Syx the man/dragon? Hmmmm? Did the new realm swallow him up? Looking forward to your next entry as well!

“So what shall we get into today, Jala?” I ask as we walk through a field full of colorful flowers and what I think are butterflies.

“It’s about the perfect time for starting a garden. Asa, Remy, and I have gathered you the seeds you will need to grow your own. If you are going to be stuck here with us you are going to have to eat.” As Jala walked across the large field she started making a strange whistling sound. As the sound built I also started hearing another sound, actually I felt it before I heard it. It was a rumble deep within the earth that you could feel in your bones that slowly built to a thundering.

And then the ground erupted! Dirt and flowers went flying in a thousand different directions; I think I heard the flowers scream in fright. The butterflies that had been so serine and beautiful just a moment before; turned mean faces toward the opening ground and hissed at the intrusion, OMG butterflies hiss! And then out came…..um…. a tree?

What looked to be a large giant oak came twisting and flexing out of the ground. Branches stretched like fingers as it ripped itself out of the dirt. Roots stepped like the legs of an octopus, somehow managing to stay on top of the shifting soil. Once free of the dirt it gave a good shake of its leaves to remove any remaining dirt then turned towards us and smiled. The tree actually smiled, looking so pleased.

“Jala, was this the garden you needed turned?” asked the tree as it rested a branch on Jala’s shoulder.”

“Oh Banyan, you are such a showoff! Quick acting silly and come meet my new friend. “

And with that I was introduced to a tree. And the branches / hands were soft when he shook my hand, strange since I thought it would feel like a tree. We took the seeds that Jala’s family had gathered and scattered them in neat rows in the cleared area. Banyan said tomorrow he would help us to set up an automatic watering system. We set up a small fence to block off the garden area to passersby.

Once the garden was complete we all set back and looked at our work. Beautiful! And now I need a bath, dinner, and bed… in that order.

Thanks Syx. It has been a long time since I have written anything, so I am really enjoying it.

You are welcome! I can see that you are enjoying writing your entries! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that We all are enjoying reading what You have created! Very Cool!! I'm going to drop in a short piece right now actually...

As Syx and His Dragon Friends continued their Fact finding fight, they observed many wonderous things! Some Trees that were, well they were walking around! Flowers that fluttered and seemed to be talking to each other!

Syx thought He saw his Friend TDawg in the woods. There was a portal of some kind that opened up, and TDawg walked into it and dissapeared. He hoped His Friend would fare well in whatever his future held!

They saw mountain ranges come up from underground rising to incredible heights then setteling back down to a lower height and remained there! Trees would also rise from the ground to tower above the landscapes!

What an incredible place this was turning out to be! The Dragons were delighted that they would have some facinating news to share amongst their friends back at The Shed!

There was a nice pond below that looked very inviting to the tiring and thirsty Dragons. They banked towards the beautiful waters below and soon were landing on the shore line. Well some landed, others dove right into the nice cool waters! It was a funny sight really, to them anyway!!

As Jala and I sat by the fire, warming water for my bath, she told me that The Creature Committee (The CCs) have met other visitors that are starting to appear in this world. She said so far they have spotted 20 or more new beings. Of course when she says “New Beings” it could be anything from a 12 horned dinosaur to another human; she looks at me as “New”. I guess it is all in your perspective.

As the water heats up she shares stories from The CCs of the new beings and the tales of others learning the new world. It seems that I have missed a very important time in one of the “New Beings” life. A birthday! Oh I can’t imagine celebrating a birthday and being in a world where I don’t know a soul.

As Jala brings the large wooden barrel of water in the cottage and puts it into the bathtub, I begin working on a gift basket. Surely not everyone will have a support group as amazing as mine. I find a large wooden box and begin to fill it. I find some of my freshly ground coffee and manage to create a nice re-sealable container. I then pick out a couple of my favorite fresh fruits and vegetables and place them inside a good size cooking pot (just in case they haven’t found the city yet). I finish the box off with a small book of poetry. I don’t know where The CCs found it but it has been hand bound and and the pages look to have been taken from many different books. Some of them I have heard before but I think some of the poems are from this world. I wonder if that means there were others that crossed before us.

Ah, Jala has the bath ready and I have finished the box. Happy Birthday New Being! I hope you are enjoying this new world as much as I am! Now, bath and bed. Another day complete and I am blissfully alive.

Martin, I'm loving it! Keep writing! Syx, glad you finally posted!

Had a busy and delightful day. I bought Kya the new kitty some new foods to try. The pet store even had the cutest spork (spoon/fork) with a kitty painted on it. It's pink plastic and the cutest thing. Linda got one too. Then we went plant shopping and I bought lavender, spearmint, chocolate mint, rosemary, 4 different shades of pink flowering plants and a couple of yellow ones. Gorgeous! I got the herbs with some birthday money for myself and the flowers are an early gift for Mom for Mother's day. I'll also have a card and money for her. Had a great lunch, great conversation and lots of laughter, bought some groceries. It was a great day!

Good Morning Martin! I also Hope your Day goes Well!!

Good morning my fine people! I'm going to get dressed and go out and plant those herbs and flowers.

Only 3 of us showed up today? Oh I mean yesterday. It jumped to another day as I am up late.
I sure do miss people bustling about in here.

Good morning Shed. I hope your days goes better than mine has already started out being. Syx.

Good morning everyone!!!

Night Star - Hopefully everyone is just enjoying the spring weather and will be by soon.

Syx - It is way too early to already be a bad day. :HUG: I hope that your day gets better!

Sorry, no story. I was stuck to the monitors watching storm chasers last night. I have found that I have a production curve that lines up exactly with the number of chasers streaming online. The more there are, the less I get done

Hi Martin! If You were here, you would know what I meant. LOL! It's ok now I guess...

Double humble post.
