My foot just about all better, I went for a short walk and visited the dump in the Orphaned Woods.
When I pulled a glass bottle out of the ground, it made this perfect circle in the green moss. Like pulling a cork out of a genie’s bottle, I immediately began imagining this hole in the earth as a passage to another world.
Though it still has it’s top screwed tightly on, this jar had a crack in it big enough to grow a garden inside it. It is attached to the earth by the roots of the plants growing in it.
A close-up of the life inside the jar. 
Can you see the edge of this broken green bottle in the top right corner? The bottle has become a terrarium for this moss garden.
This is like Alice in Wonderland. Things get incredibly small and then … If stuff pops up with “Eat Me!” or “Drink Me!” on it, I double dare you!
It is a magical place….
The jar with the rings and the metal top brings back childhood memories. I believe it’s a Maxwell House Instant Coffee jar from the 1950s, early 1960s. My parents drank Maxwell House and I remember the jars. They had a red top with white stars. In the summer I would catch lightning bugs and put them in the jar. We always let the fireflies go when it was time to go in for the night.
That’s a sweet memory Gail. I remember those jars too, but you have a better story to go with them!:)
Maria, Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have no woods to explore, so I experience walks with you. You show us things I’m sure I would miss.
I am so glad to be able to share it with you Mylene. Thank you for letting me know and being there.
