1. Walking along the Arkansas River to breakfast. The cloud cover that kept me cool the whole way.
2.The delicious biscuits and gravy that FED my soul after that walk.
3.The topiary unicorn at the Witchita Botanical gardens.
4. The peach margaritas I drank after a hot day while waiting for some togo bbq.
5. Clarity. I wanna be a witch who lives in a forest. I walked into the children‘s garden portion of the gardens and 👇🏼
Reggie there were these kids being kids and they were being rambunctious. Just being kids. I left their gardens and found this path that didn‘t have any flowers but these huge trees that shaded over one another. There was a quiet and a stillness and I felt like I could have become one with them. Just melted into them. I wanted to stay there forever. It was a good day. 12h
Reggie What does this have to do with that Seize the Night vampire anthology you ask? One of my favorite stories in there has to do with a contractor bulldozing a forest for a high rise building but the witch who lives there has something to say. It‘s called “The Separator,” by Rio Youers. It‘s a gnarly story. (edited) 12h

Centique I totally get this! I often imagine being a recluse in a cottage on the edge of the woods somewhere making dandelion tea or something and walking about barefoot wrapped in a patchwork blanket. (In reality id probably freeze to death in winter or get eaten by mosquitos in summer) Still the yearning for more nature immersion is there 💕 I love the sound of your trees and I bet you‘d be a formidable protector of them! 10h
Lesliereadsalot The peach margarita and the botanical garden would be on my to-do list! 9h

Bookwormjillk That sounds like a good story! And I like your pictures. 8h
Mollyanna There‘s nothing like a good plate of biscuits and gravy! 8h
Reggie @Centique awwww your version sounds wonderful. I can actually see your patchwork quilt being longer than you and slightly dragging on the floor as you walk around. 5h
Reggie @Mollyanna I grew up in a small town and the McDonald‘s there is the only one I‘ve ever been to that serves Biscuits and gravy. It‘s so spicy and good and ever since then I‘ve been a big fan. My family never made it. 4h
Reggie @Bookwormjillk it was. That anthology had some really good stories. Thanks! 4h
Reggie @Lesliereadsalot that margarita was soooooo good. And being from a dry part of New Mexico any kind of vegetation and greenery is exciting to me. 4h
Reggie @lil1inblue it really was. There were koi ponds and a butterfly garden. So much for the eyes to take in. 4h
Mollyanna A McDonald‘s that makes biscuits and gravy?!? I feel like that is a bucket list item. I lived in the South for a time when I was young and one of my friend‘s mom taught my mom how to make it. She still makes it every Christmas morning. 4h
