T<\/strong>hanksgiving is tomorrow, which is very exciting, and made all the more so by the welcome gifts of gratitude Fairy Folk leave around our farm.<\/p>\n

F<\/strong>or an entire week leading up to Thanksgiving members of the Fairy Kingdom leave offerings of thanks for all the enchanted clothing I have sewn or mended for them over the year. They are grateful that the Wizard and I have maintained our gardens, woodlands and organic blueberry barrens where fairies and wildlings together mingle and grow.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he Foxchild, one of my very best friends has been keeping an eye out for the Elves, Brownies, Hobgoblins, Pixies, Sprites and Trolls (to name just a few)\u00a0 who come ahead of time when no one is looking;\u00a0 leaving the most delicious surprises which I will serve to family and friends.<\/p>\n

L<\/strong>ook what Nora Russell, a Troll from the Knoll left for me this morning at the entrance to the Enchanted Forest.<\/p>\n

W<\/strong>hy it’s one of her Trolly Delicious Flourless Chocolate Cakes!<\/p>\n

N<\/strong>ora, like most Trolls is a very accomplished chief. Each year for as long as I can remember\u00a0 she has left us one of these exquisite cakes.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>his year’s cake is topped with fresh pomegranate seeds and walnuts, set in a herbal bed of fragrant rosemary. Yum.<\/p>\n

N<\/strong>ora’s husband William Edwin is gifted composer and violinist, and Nora as well as being a fine chief has a lovely soprano voice. Nora and Edwin perform together with the Grand Troll Opera, and they are about as romantic a couple as you could ever hope meet. Only chances are you will not meet them because Trolls are notoriously shy of humans, so encounters seldom happen.<\/p>\n

H<\/strong>owever if you have a fair amount of patience and a keen ear you might hear, when the breeze is just right; after the wind has died down, William Edwin Troll playing his mesmerizing Marguerite Waltz on Violin as his friend Belya Troll accompanies him on piano.<\/p>\n

L<\/strong>ive your own great story out loud and remember to thank those whose gentle acts of kindness have touched you.<\/p>\n

We know it’s a different kind of year and things are not quite the same, but the world has a wonderful way of righting itself with time.<\/p>\n

A Very Happy Holiday to All of You Near and Far!<\/p>\n
