…. But the moss…it stayed on the GreenWoods side. All the coaxing, all the magic, all the wishes and bribing, the gentle prodding and ill fated transplantings were nary a success.
Valiant pressed further against the bubble, feeling the familiar resistance, the cool sensation tickling her fingers, making her ears itch and a near unbearable urge to wriggle and hop wildly into the GreenWoods crawl over her legs…..

A bit of Valiant Crocus’ story written by meeee.

One of my favorite things to do during late Spring when the fuzzy wuzzy bees are bumbling about is to follow them around the garden so I can video them slowmo.
Sometimes a character comes along to watch.
In this case a Slug-a-bug!
My etsy shop has one of the Slug-a-bugs listed now, ALC7.com

In case you have ever wondered who is trying to be in charge of my 8 trillion social media accounts….
Furry Monster says he knows all about “voos”

“What are voos?” I wondered aloud as he hammered away with great enthusiasm on keyboard.

He peered up at me over his fluffy shoulder, tail twitching in either agitation or excitement, knowing him its both.
“Gasssssssssp…” he gasped, looking in horror and shock at my apparent lack of knowledge on this subject that he apparently knows all about.

“Voos! Voos! It’s all about the Voos!” He stared at me, golden eyes unblinking, as if trying to comprehend my human level lack of awareness on this subject.

“Views?” I suggested?

The “duh” wasn’t vocalized but I felt it in my soul.

To be fair he knows a LOT about social media for a Furry Monster who spends most of his time adventuring and cuddling characters on my shelves.

Also, pro tip, you can disconnect the bluetooth for a keyboard if you have a Furry Monster in your life who is more enthusiastic about speed/volume of keys clashing than actual text being created…. 😏

“WHAT????????” The low rumble of shock and disapproval hits like a mini tsunami that is part purr and part freight train.
Whoops…forgot he was reading my post while it was ‘my turn to write’

p.s. this is a really long winded way to say I figured out how to use TikTok in a way that works for me.
And by me figuring it out I mean my husband. I can not stand, with the passion of a thousand burning suns, opening my TikTok app and having stuff auto play and blast my senses with SOUND SOUND SOUND (delicate artist that I am 😜 )
annnnyways my husband, no help from Furry Monster though he insisted he could probably do it as he’s ‘good with the electrics’ went into my accessibility settings on my iPad and made it so when I open the TikTok app it AUTOMATICALLY MUTES MY SOUND 🎉 🎊 🙌

Hey look…see. That? That thing over there? That’s my point…I am making my way to it…
I am using TikTok more in case you’re there and want to follow

Thanks!

Valiant Crocus lingers on a cozy mossy bank of a stream somewhere deep in a Nova Scotia forest, listening intently to the rushing water. What does it say? What does she hear beyond the rapid splishing and splashing…

Aldwyn liked time. It was a constant companion that liked Aldwyn as well. Happily accepting the bits of memory and future plans as tasty snacks to be consumed, it practically purrrrrrrred under the deft, faintly glowing green hand of Aldwyn as he metaphorically and yet somehow actually tickled the ears of time…

Aldwyn’s story is complete, well as complete as any bit of story ever is which is not at all when I think about it..
Hahaha
He is now listed in my Etsy shop at ALC7.com
Or you can read his story on my website TraceyTruly.com in the stories section.

OtaMot & Dratsum , into the forest proper, they are absolutely wowed and filled awe at the world they have stepped into. Soft underfoot, silent but for wind and birds, surrounded by welcoming trees who reach thie curious roots and branches towards these wee wanderers…

“The winter sun and the summer sun are the same sun,” Aldwyn said to me with much seriousness that hinted at an underlying message.

Being the dull-witted human, in comparison to an elf of indeterminate age, I said something clever like, “Oh… yes, I know.”

He stared up at me, the pearlescent green glow of his skin seeming to deepen and shine, as if pulling the very vibrancy of the plant world around him into his body and reflecting it back. His eyes, bright blue, impossibly young in his weathered features, held a hint of laughter.

“Human, it’s the SAME sun… but look…” He gestured in a way that made his wee little capelet flap about him dramatically. His arms seemed to hold the entire world for a moment. He murmured with awe and wonder, “The same sun…”

I think in that moment we were both recalling our wintery woodland adventures.

There is indeed some scientific magic about a wibbly, wobbly, rotating Earth and the same sun….the explosion of green, green GREEEEEN each year.

We both smiled, inhaling cool air that smells of lilacs and dandelions and fresh-cut grass somewhere.

Working on Aldwyn’s listing for my Etsy shop today, potatoes are cooking in our GoSun solar cooker, the birds are gossiping in the garden. Lovely, lovely day.

Faux-bots OtaMot and Dratsum exploring every bit of the forest!

I Did it! Shipping to U.S. now enabled.

I was semi tempted to video that bizarre amount of clicking and copying and pasting each listing required but then I figured…MOSS…MOSSSSSSSSS… People would rather see moss. I’d rather see moss…hahaha

I pre-celebrated finishing my Etsy admin by getting some prettty Scotch moss for the garden.
This is, in my opinion, a form of time travel because I bought the moss in the afternoon but just finished updating my 55th Etsy listing about 10:30 pm, it’s more exciting to consider that a form of temporal shifting than lollygagging and procrastination bwahahahahaha

Annnnyhoo, was a good bit of stuff to get done and also made me aware of how many characters I have on the shelves that still need listing.

In the mean time cat discovered the new moss and went out for a cuddle with a dragon on the soft, floofy bed, grumpy boletus followed. Don’t judge too harshly, boletus has resting grump face as well as an affinity for lurking, he joined the moss bed nap time eventually. 🤣
