i waited until it was August 1 in yesterdayland

well that was a tricky task i set myself
thank you ALL for your delightful contributions
i have enjoyed following the trail of breadcrumbs back through the interpixies' forest to explore some new places

loved the poem about the brown flower [even though my Spanish is dodgy at the best of times]
was good to be reminded about rosebuds
and
judging by some of the things that were mentioned
i see that quite a few of you
know rather a lot about me
beyond mere playing with leaves

anyhoos

"new frock made with the lightness of the early morning sun and the fragrance of gently used leaves"
"Comparing the number of leaves to the number of stars"
"stalking the wilderness without a map"
"gathering the light into my basket"


were just a few of several that stood out, but they all made me smile, thank you
but i have to say
that Valerianna won my heart with the mention of my grandmother


so if Valerianna would care to advise me of her postal address
[you'll find my email address on the contact page at www.indiaflint.com]


then i shall be sending her a wee bundle...


as for the rest of you, please don't go away 


i have an interesting announcement to make tomorrow
