Aliens In My Flowerpot?

July 10, 2009 by starsimplified

Okay, a weird thing happened this morning…or last night, but I just discovered it this morning. First things first, though. Yesterday I was out on my balcony marveling at the fact that my remaining yucca plant, which I had to dig up and plant in a flowerpot to save from a urinating dog terrorist, was finally actually recovering when it had been as good as dead. I gave it a little water and lots of praise for being “such a brave little yucca!” Nothing else unusual was noteworthy except for this miraculous recovery.

BUT TODAY…I was eating breakfast and gazed out the balcony door and noticed something yellow in the yucca flowerpot. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out what it could be. From a distance, it looked like this:The only thing I could think was that they were mushrooms, but I’d never seen any which were shaped like that! They were firmly in the soil. I was about to reach down and feel them when they turned around! This is what I saw! Aliens I know. I know. But don’t panic. They appear to be friendly enough. I took a closer look… alien closeup

I can’t say for sure, but I’m pretty confident that they are “not of this world.” So far they haven’t spoken or done anything except stare at me like that and smile, but I don’t sense a threat. Who would have dreamed that alien antennae would look just like broken off toothpicks? Not me!

Anyhow, of all the people in the universe they could have picked for first contact, I’m sure glad they picked me!

Looks like they are little toad stools.

I hope they don’t kill the yucca.

Those aliens made me smile. You are so lucky to have been chosen. Please show them that Earth can be a friendly place and keep them away from the urinating dog.
