Watch out!! Here he comes again! Quick, you go left and I will go right. That crazy rooster!! He doesn’t realize he will be a snack for some hungry coyote if he doesn’t stay in the hen house overnight.
OW!! I stepped on a sharp stick, twisted m…

Up and up I go!! Whee! Look how far up I am! Wait….I can’t see my boy. Where is he?
The kite started to get worried, and tears started to come. About that time, a huge crow was flying by. What’s the matter my friend?

I love pickles!! Almost any kind of pickle.
This spring I have decided to plant a pickle garden. What's a pickle garden you ask? It is a garden where you can grow every kind of pickle.
Hot Pickles: All you have to do is sprinkle cayenne pepper around the plants when you put them in the ground.

It is not necessary to write books or speak to large crowds. Your influence in your immediate circle of family, friends, and acquaintances is a huge help.

Do you remember playing in the mud as a kid? Swirling the sloppy goo all over the sidewalk or your legs and
arms? Sometimes life is like playing in the mud. We wallow in the sloppy goo and smear it all over ourselves

If you have pets, you can probably appreciate this conversation. If you don't have pets, you can probably appreciate the humor....if not, sorry about that.

YAWN!!! Oh my goodness, I've been asleep a long time. Where am I?
He he....you're in the flower garden, my friend.
Who are you?
I'm Wiggly Worm. I live here. I break up the hard soil so that flower seeds like you can grow and bloom.
Flower Seeds, grow and bloom?? I don't understand.
Well, sit back and relax. I'll try to explain what is going on here.
I would be most grateful for your help.
YOU are a flower seed. Hiding inside of you is a beautiful flower.
What is a flower?
It is something beautiful that humans love to look at. The bees love flowers, too. Flowers let them pollinate other plants. How are we doing so far?
Well, I'm trying to keep up. So, flowers are beautiful to look at, and they help other plants, too.
Yes, yes. You're getting it.
There is a flower hiding inside of me? How does it get out?
As a Wiggly Worm, I keep the soil around you from getting too hard. That allows you to use your roots (kind of like feet) to push yourself to the surface. The Garden Lady that planted you in the ground, adds water to the soil so you can have something to drink and eat. That makes your roots grow and makes you stronger so you can push yourself up. When you get to the top of the soil, you will see a very bright light. That light is called the sun. The sun will also help make you strong. After a while, with the water, food and sun....you will burst open!! Then the flower gets to pop out! There are probably other flower seeds around here. The Garden Lady always plants lots of flower seeds, so she will have lots of flowers to look at! You may bump into them on your way up.
That is so exciting. What are you going to do?
I just wiggle around in the dirt, keeping the soil all nice and loose so you can move up.
What do I do next?
Well, you don't really have to do anything. Mother Nature has already put everything in just the right place for you. All you have to do is take in the food and water and keep moving upwards. You will know when you get to the top, because you will see a very bright light. The light is called the sun and will help you warm up. In a few days, with the light from the sun, you will feel yourself opening up. Then one morning, you will wake up as a beautiful flower!!
Wow! Then what do I do?
Nothing except enjoy being beautiful and having the Garden Lady stare at you.
Will she do that? She will stare at me? Why will she stare at me?
Because you will be the most beautiful flower she has ever seen. She will even love you.
Oh. What a beautiful thing to be a beautiful flower to make the Garden Lady happy. I like being a flower seed. Thank you for sharing my story that I didn't even know. Have fun being a Wiggly worm! I'm sure we'll see each other again.

Watch out!! Here he comes again! Quick, you go left and I will go right. That crazy rooster!! He doesn’t realize he will be a snack for some hungry coyote if he doesn’t stay in the hen house overnight.
OW!! I stepped on a sharp stick, twisted my ankle and flipped head-over-heels. That’s going to hurt tomorrow!! Actually, it hurts right now.
One more time! Chase him this way and I will try to capture him by putting a basket over him. Missed again!!! I’m beginning to think he is smarter than both of us put together.
What’s the next plan? I’ll spread a sheet between the hen house and the tree. You try to chase him toward the sheet and maybe he can’t get passed it. But, who’s going to try to grab him? I have scratches and bites all over my arms already. Oh, try putting a large pile of feed on the ground in front of the sheet. Maybe he will stop long enough to eat and we can grab him. Oh sure! He is going to sit right there eating a snack while we try to sneak up on him…what are you thinking?!
Okay, so do you have a better idea?
Our grandson walked up just about that time. What are you guys doing?
We are trying catch the unruly rooster. We have tried everything but still haven’t caught him.
Where is he now? We have no idea at the moment.
Hang on. Our grandson disappeared behind the hen house. He comes back in a few minutes carrying the unruly rooster. What do you want me to do with him?
What? How? Quickly, put him in the hen house.
Our grandson put the unruly rooster in the hen house for the night. Closed the door and walked back inside the house.
We looked at each other, then looked at the unruly rooster sitting on the perch in the hen house. How did he do that? We looked at each other again and vowed to NEVER mention this to anyone!
