Two days ago I was siting in my garden sketching my apple trees, when my neighbor came to say hello. I don't know him very well jet, so when he asked if he could see my sketch book, I became a bit shy, as my sketchbook is very personal to me. I handed it to him, and picked up my ewer to water some flowers while he was looking at my sketches.

He did'nt say much, and when he was done he just handed the sketch book back to me, greeted me a good day, and went back to his house.

This morning I was siting under the apple tree again. I could see my neighbor  working in his garden, so I greeted him good morning. He came over to me, and he started to tell me how he had looked me up on the Internet. He had been reading some of my Nidlongdir blogs, and he was very upset about them.

I asked him what had upset him so much?

He told me that he thought people like me are dangerous. To be honest I didn't understand why he thought I could be a dangerous person, so I asked him to explaine to me why he thought I am dangerous.

You mix up fantasy and the real world, he said.  You make people believe that there are fairies in your garden, you are a crazy dangerous woman, and people like you should'nt be allowed to use the Internet to spread you crazy ideas, there should be a law against it, he kept on.

I was shocked by his anger and accusations. I just stood there paralyzed in my own garden not knowing what to say. Then it was like a trembling went through the apple tree, my neighbor felt it too, he looked up into the tree branches and in a few seconds it was like the tree unfolded all it's secrets to him. You could see the streets of Lefenheim city leading up to Apple Hold Castle, and right in front of his nose King Applestrong popped up pointing his wand at him. Just as sudden as the apple tree's treambeling had started it stoped. My neighbor backed of into his own garden and disapired inside his house, with out a goodbye or any thing. I haven't talked to him since and I doubt he will be visiting me again in the near featur.

What do you think about my neighbor's accusations?

Is it a dangerous game I am playing?

If I am a crazy lady should I then be banned from the Internet?

Selene has seen the beautiful dresses Gry is hanging in our garden, so that they can be glued by passing spiders. As a surprise I have ordered this dress for her at Elodie's Blooming Fashion. I am helping Gry hanging the dresses on the spider highway in my trees for the spider gluing.

Here the dress is ready for the first spider; it comes by this place twice a day and glues the top to the skirt.

After the first glueing we moved it to a branch to have the smaller deatails on the top glued.

At last we hang it at the end of a branch, so that the very tiny spiders could glue the small flowers in the skirt.

This is a sketch of one of my apple trees. I did it two years ago.

At that time I didn't know about the Nidlongdir fairies, but if you look at the branch to the right you will see a fairy like white shape. I was quit surprised to discover the fairy on my old drawing, because I don't recall drawing a fairy on this particular drawing.

The drawing was done in pastel on brown paper in size A4.
