This is how it all started out......

 

I was out in the garden with my jar of ladybugs that just arrived from Burpee's strategically placing them among the tender shoots to ward off those invisible pests which gobble up the leaves before they have the chance to develop into tasty tomatoes. As the last of the ladybugs settled into their new home I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye. Much too early for the hummingbirds to return. I backed off and surveyed the garden. There.. I saw it again. It moved so fast it appeared as a small almost invisible streak. Was it eating my ladybugs? NOT MY LADYBUGS!!! I have been known for my quick reflexes but it must have been dumb luck as I swept my open jar through the air as the flash appeared out of no where and ended up in my jar. I had just enough sense to put on the lid in the same motion.

Even captured in the jar this rod moved with incredible quickness. The National Enquirer was the first thought that came into my head. What will they pay for this? Millions of dollars danced through my mind. I must have been in a stupor for five to ten minutes when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw this strangely dressed little man wearing a pointed cap and I swear his feet were not touching the ground.

Hey, buddy... How about letting Tinkerbell out of the jar.

 

The saga continues...
