Just read The Bee and the Orange, thanks for the rec! I was going through old material last night and *literally* re-read a piece titled The Rose and the Toadstool. (I half-remembered it, but didn't remember that I'd turned it into a punchline at the end. Oh, Steve! Why does everything have to be a joke?)
That's so cool! I did not know these authors and I've loved and studied fairy tales, including the classique French ones and this one is new to me! What inspired me to write this morning was the white on white effect of the cloudy morning sky on the huge snowbanks in front of my house in Quebec where we've had a ton and more to come. There is a playground out front with huge oak trees that with the trees on the street sketch an urban forest. I like the graphic details of this all.
