With leaves carpeting yards, the last harvest due in before the killing frost, not to mention pre-winter to-do lists a mile long, the end of October is a time when Dragons lend paw, tail, and wing in earnest. Today we celebrate draconic altruism and general civic mindedness: it’s Chipping In Day.
Much as they thrive on just “being” in the world, Dragons are most definitely not all-play-and-no-work creatures.
"...Dragons are also natural horticulturists; their affinity for the soil makes them enormously helpful in the vast agrarian regions of the world, notably the Great Plains of the Americas and the grain belts of the Ukraine and Asia...they can help with post hurricane clean up..." For more on "Lending a Paw..." go to MacKenzie's Dragonsnest to read just how helpful a Dragon can be and also for the always wonderful Dragon Illustrations. NOTE: Month of the Dragon is winding down. Remember: everyone who leaves a Comment here at Dragon’s Nest this October gets their name put in the hat for a signed copy of either Dragons for Beginners or The Dragon Keeper’s Handbook. Winners to be announced November 1, 2012....Enjoy and Good Luck to the Two who WIN!!! J.K. the secret keeper
“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?” ― John Lennon
