perhaps we are all part wood nymph

part elvish faerie

rambling about in tiny woodlands

a-roving where we may


these are things i think of

when i settle in a dark and moistened shady glenn

with old moss and lichen

gathered about me

    When I walk the paths around Pondside, through the cedars, by giant rocks robed in moss, I full expect to meet a gnome or a pixie.

    So true. Moss is so enchanting when you give it a chance.

    A lovely thought! Places like that inspire imagination - I am daydreaming of summer. xo Karen

    It gives a feel of peacefulness of the forest though eerie sometimes. Nicely!

    This is lovely. we must never stop believing in the pixies and fairies, they are surely hidden in plain site if only we continue our journey through their mossy rocks, :-) Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop . Big Hugs

    Oh, I hope so! I love moss and to be an elfish fairy or wood nymph and roll around in it all day would be delightful! I often think thoughts like this when I am in my garden. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
