While out wandering one fine day I met a little Green Fairy dancing all alone in the forest.
Upon seeing me the little fairy politely bowed, curtsied, giggled and twirled.
As I stepped closer she paused and smiled sweetly,
Then snapped her fingers and fled.
Happy New Year from Old Horse and the Seamstress to the Fairies!
Happy New Year from the Home Place Fairies!
Very unusual weather this winter with much warmer temperatures than we normally experience. No snow anywhere when a few days ago everything was covered in white. Several days ago I met a night crawler wiggling slowly but with determination across the semi solid ground…from where did he come and where was he intending to go? He could not say so I scooped him up and carefully brought him down into the pit greenhouse where the ground never freezes and greenery all winter grows.
Today the granddaughters and cousins found a frog! Now that was a surprise, groggy but sitting upon solid ground in a clump of withered leaves.
Later when I hiked down to the waterfalls I was not too surprised to see that the Home Place Fairies had left their cozy winter quarters to flutter and dance in the warmth of a late December Day. This is highly unusual for them to do this time of the year. To my knowledge this has only happened a few times ever before.
The forest bordering my farm is enchanted and deep within in very secret places there are two sacred waterfalls where fairies fly.
For believers anything is possible.
Two little Fairies left the forest with their wands hoping to meet and wondered
As they wandered …
How simply wander-fully wonderful wandering with wands can be!
If you are among those fortunate enough to find yourself deep within the heart of a wild garden during the days of August you may encounter Fairy Folk when they are most playful.
Take time to stop; smell flowers and listen to birds as they sing with their entire beings.
There is so much magic in the natural world.
Fairies ask that we take time out each and everyday to notice and contemplate the beauty that surrounds us.
