Our farm in the springtime is a haven for Fairies.
Each spring the Home Place Fairies leave the shelter of their winter chambers and soar high above our farm singing in the breeze.
Singing and playing, whirling and twirling they are busy pollinating lupine, lilac, blue bells, daisies, iris and rue.
Ralphie has been enchanted by the fairies, he is Guardian of the Garden and watches over the fairies they say.
Winter has finally passed.
The gardens are awakening and the Fairies are too.
Oh, such magical wonders of nature.
Magic happens in every garden, all you have to do is look.
The Magic of a Soft Winter’s Snow.
My Garden’s gone quiet beneath the snow, quiet and resting.
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.
