we were driving around the wilderness that surrounds us in this corner of the country (moss grown lava wilderness, no wonder we have such stories of mythical creatures), and I thought: “sweet, I would most definetly want to get a griffin chick that is painted like a hybrid of a Siamese cat and a snow owl….. and now I imagine that it would be nice to see it grow up… training it so that I could ride bareback and fly away when reality gets overwhelming ^.^” (lol, its nice to be able to flee from reality once in awhile)
