The Cherry Headed Conure Of Happiness

…every bit as cute as a bluebird, plus it can talk

Due to time constraints and some ill advised laziness, I’m putting the Tiny People And Their Big Friends on hiatus. starting today, I’ll be trying to do a couple of shorter entries every day on the theme of Unexpected Places

Unexpected Places: Just Around That Next Corner…

…is where you’ll find Maisey’s Tea Shop. Best pastries in the city, if you ask me. Great cup of tea, too. Of course, by the looks of you, you’ll be wanting a magic potion or two. Well, Maisey can fix you up on that account. Just tell her you want a pot of Oolong and a cherry muffin. She’ll show you to a private booth, then talk about what you really want. Just be aware that she doesn’t take credit cards. Cash only for the potions.

Unexpected Places: Right Over This Hill…

…, my friend, is the Darton Farm. They keep to themselves, but don’t cause any trouble neither. Big burly fellas, the men are. Women ain’t much smaller. Must be about 25-30 folks there, including daughters & sons in laws and grandkids. Now, you’ll hear rumors in town that they’re everything from highwaymen to devil cultists to werewolves, but I say that’s all a bunch of hooey. Oh sure, there’s a gang workin’ the roads up near Riverport and Kingvale, and it’s said they’re a bloody bunch, but those places are 30-40 miles from here over rough terrain and bad roads. Ain’t nobody could get from here to there in just a night. Well, except maybe werewolves. Ha ha ha ha!
