Our Emily is good at tying us in knots with her wit in riddles. Here are a few samples of her latest zingers. Post your guesses in the comment section and I will post her answers in a few days.
Deep in the heart of the Amazon
He springs upon his prey from the tree tops
And with silence and stealth
that would put a sniper to shame
He vanishes away into the moonlight.
What am I?
I am found in the wastelands of the North,
where the wild winds blow strong
I fill many with fear and dread
causing the mighty warrior to bow
And the lowly ant to meet it's death
What am I?
I dwell in the hearts of the people;
Where no man's eye has seen.
My mission is to destroy and enslave
and my harvest is great.
Yet, most deny my existence
and thereby prove my presence.
What am I?
When Emily was early elementary age we would do Dr. DooRiddles. She loved doing these associative reasoning puzzles and they helped her to think outside the box. She is now working on this skill with Andrew by making up riddles for animals and he is doing very well. He loves to play the "Animal question game". Big sisters are sooo much fun!

I so stink at these, but here's my best guess:
1. rain or dew, perhaps sunlight
2. tumbleweed or dirt??? lol! (coming from an adopted Lubbockite!)
3. strongholds???
I can't wait to find out the real answers!!!
The answers to the riddles are
1. Black Panther
2. Cold
3. Sin
Did you get my guesses? I posted them last week, but wasn't sure if my message went through. Tell Emily that I only got #3 sorta right... I said strongholds, but I thought one was rain and two was dirt or tumbleweed...lol! I'd love to attempt some more!! Although I'm obviously not any good, it was a great exercise for my old brain. love ya'll! j
byhisgrace_99,
So sorry I am not sure what is going on but I am no longer receiving notice of comments. I checked today and had a bunch. Thanks for guessing...you did good. Truth be told I only got one of them right myself...she is a good riddler.
