    Mabon/Equinox Here in the Fields of WI

    Thursday, September 24, 2009, 10:43 AM EST [General]

    Certainly is Autumn-like here.  Rain at night-60's daytimes, a bit cloudy.

    Yesterday I placed fading flowers, green glitter, left-over waters from the red & white springs from Glastonbury.  I  put these on a triangular libation stone in my Faery Garden as offerings.  I also placed a hefty spice cap of mixed honey & butter for the Little Ones.

    The latter was completely missing this morning!

    Autumn has definitely also come to Denmark, we had a storm last night.

    A Flapper Family in my Ancestors?

    Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 11:55 PM EST [General]

    I've been digging through my precious Collection of belongings.  We all know :  "We can't take it with us," but who should get it?

    I found a necklace chain of round clear crystals with 7-yes the Faery #7 - suspended clear crystal rectangles hanging from it.  The pieces move back and forth with me and are just so much more splendid that the sinlge crystal hanging.  I am wondering if it might have been my great Aunt Hattie's.  In that case,  I wonder if she has an interesting explanation for her silver-tone gold filigree diamond ring with 3- yes#3 -diamonds  on it?

    Never the less I use the ring as my Druid ring.  

    Thanyou my Great Aunt Hattie!

    2 More Faery Garden Residents

    Saturday, September 12, 2009, 03:25 AM EST [General]

    Clingling to the exterior wall just below the hollyhocks is Master Stick Bug.  His body, which looks more like a very thinly folded gray moth wing (camoflage for bark dwelling) is about 4" long & then he has these long 6 legs!

    More devious is Opal the Spider.  She is all over opal color and hides in and behind pink daisy blooms.  She is deadly to the bee which looks like a fly, or the fly that looks like a bee?  She paralyzes the poor things.  Once they are still, one can see the beautiful detail of the insect, but . . . . Mother Nature acts in mysterious ways.

    Oooo Merrie I don't like stick insects at all ! (I'm sure he's very interesting tho')
    But how fantastic to have a hummingbird in the garden ^_^

    Hummingbird Returns

    Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 09:31 PM EST [General]

     I haven't seen her since Colleen was here a month ago.  She is the classic bright glowing green.

    She treated me with about 7 minutes of aerial dance about the mystery-phlox-like plants as she extracted nectar,  She wouldn't  go for any of the other flowers.  No nasturtiums, no asters, no snapdragons-NO THANKYOU- she hummed.

    I am so happy that she returned to you dearest Merrie, and especially that you were treated to her pretty, dancing company for a little while... I much appreciate you sharing this gift, especially as I Love Hummingbirds!

    Just dropping by to say hi. The sun is shining brightly today, and somehow I feel it's you, dancing up there, making the sky brighter. Thank you for smiling down and sending your warmth. I'm sorry I never had the chance to say goodbye, and anymore the days pass so quickly. But, in your motherly wisdom, somehow I think you understand this. Maybe more than anyone.

    Please tell my Molly I miss her. (Be careful, though, that dog is friggin. nuts!)

    All my love,
    Sarah

    Dear Merrie,

    Yesterday you were much in my thoughts as I donned my faery trekking outfit and headed out into the woods in honor of Brighid’s day. Though the ground is still frozen here, in the peace and stillness, I could almost hear the tiny bulbs and roots beginning to stir and whisper in anticipation of Spring.

    There are steep hills on the opposite side of the river from where I walk, and to my delight, I saw shimmering, frozen waterfalls that were not there before. It seems that melting snow had trickled down the hill and refrozen, creating countless icicles that appeared to flow out from the Earth herself.

    When I arrived home, I noticed my iris’ pointy green leaves were just beginning to peep above the soil!

    I will miss your generosity and wisdom, Lady Trillium. Merry part, my friend...until we meet again on the road to Faery.

    Hello Merrie! Soooo pleased to hear that you are feeling better :o) Lots of hugs and healing to you.

    Bumplet is now enormous ;o) and doing lots of prodding things with his/her feet! In the right position though, head down, phew, so feel like a waddling duck with a melon in its belly right now teehee!

    Only 5 weeks to go, eep! Keeping fingers crossed for home water birth still, should all be fine providing my tests are ok this week, there was some glucose in my sample last week but hopefully I just ate too much sugar!! (I had a grape fest the night before oops)

    Sending faerie sparkles! xxx

    Greetings!

    The tall pointy thing on my altar is selenite. A large piece of Selenite placed in the house is said to ensure a peaceful atmosphere. ^_^

    As for my favourite faery goddess/ queen..Morgan Le Fay has been calling more and more to me lately with my recent trip to Glastonbury so I will go with her. I would love to see your faerie garden!

    I am delighted to know that the parcels arrived safely and have brought more glad tidings, I feel maybe you are getting lavender comfort from east to west of England now... *giggles* May all their gentle, soothing fragrances surround you with my love and the grace of the elemental floral world (attended by our beloved bees of course ;o)
