Baubles

.

I think I might be related to the crow family of birds.

I hear tell they like shiny objects,

and often bring them back to their nests.

I brought four shiny new baubles back to my nest today,

courtesy of local artists participating in the city wide,

month long event called 

ArtTown. 

I love to support the local artists.

A loving friend of mine knows this about me, 

and treated me to four gifts today.

It was a very hard decision which fused glass necklaces I like the best,

but after fifteen minutes of trying on,

hemming and hawing

and figuring out what I would actually wear them with,

the final decisions were made.

This one is my favorite.

I have a suspicion that when my mother or my sister see the bounty,

I might be down to just this one. 

I will guard it jealously.

 I may even be forced to issue a loud, hideous screech

to protect my stash.

Thank you Reno artists.
