welcome to dewdrops, loves. it's been a while, but as usual... sit back, relax, and enjoy -- preferably with some tea...

flowers
sometimes it's nice just to stop and look at little things
especially when we're very busy
so here are some flowers from various times and places
because we all need to remember that life isn't all work

thoughts and rants #3: thumbs
Thumbs have many uses...
You can twiddle them, pick objects up with them, stare at them, pick at them, etc...
They also symbolize many things
Some meanings are good, some are bad.
"She sticks out like a sore thumb"
"Wow, he has quite a green thumb"
Let's take the meanings literally right now...
Sore thumbs stick out, apparently.
Well, I bet if someone had a green thumb, that would stick out too.
Then, why is a green thumb good but a sore thumb bad?
Our opposables would be quite noticeable if they were green, wouldn't they?
We could all try it one day and paint our thumbs green.
I bet that a lot of us would probably think twice before doing that...
"What would people say? Would I look weird?"
Chances are, society would probably say that it's strange.
So why is this strange?
You could say that maybe, it's because genetics have made us think that whatever is strange means that you are sick.
Or maybe, you could say that even though in different places, customs are different,
and customs have changed through times, we're expected to try to be cool or fit in.
But why does "cool" mean to stand out, or to lead a trend?
Trends could have never happened if there wasn't one sore thumb who decided to one day be the fish swimming the other way.
It's not bad to follow a trend, though. I follow whichever ones I like.
Personally, I don't like it when people blindly follow trends just to fit in. (you are entitled to your own thought)
However, I think I do that sometimes...
We weren't made to fit in.
So let's all be sore thumbs in our own special way, not just to create a trend, though...
*this thought came to me while I was twiddling my thumbs :)

the hatching part ii
Hi Everyone!
GUESS WHAT -- THE CHICKS ALL HATCHED ON AUGUST 25!
One was taking a little longer, so it hatched early morning August 26, but yep :D
School has started, so I'll try to continue this as much as possible :)
The five all growing so fast, and they already have adult feathers on their wings!
Their names are Sorrel, Hazel, Nocciola, Buttercup, and Daisy. The two yellow ones are Buttercup and Daisy :) Here they are for you to enjoy... and also the Circle of Life

she is such a wonderful mother -- all the food that she finds, she gives to her babies :)
that's why she's so skinny compared to usual :)
