AAAYOOOO it's my favorite time of year!!! Time to celebrate noodle dad!! Here are some of my favorite Windy babes: [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/2286590][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/22866/2286590_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/3342484][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/33425/3342484_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/2861000][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/28611/2861000_350.png[/img][/url][/center] Long ago I used to help run the Mistral Jamboree poetry contest! I also was a Latinoid back in high school, so I thought a little line of Latin poetry would be a good entry: [i]in ventos vita recessit[/i] into the wind, life recedes It is from Ovid's Aeneid, the first work I ever translated in its entirety. I hold it near and dear to my heart. This line is from the end of Book 4 and is referring to the death of Dido. It is a tragic, yet beautiful passage.

Did I need another dragon scry plan that likely doesnt exist? No! But I ended up finding this x/y/y fern/peridot playing with scries again. I should not be allowed in the scrying room.

Hopefully it stays the nice kind of windy and doesn't go windy with a storm!

I have written a haiku with a wind theme based around my home in the desert: Monsoon comes yearly Wind and rain blowing fiercely Desert briefly blooms ----- Also: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/74802218][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/748023/74802218_350.png[/img][/url] I got him in another of your raffles and he still doesn't have a name, but he's so very [i]Wind[/i]!
