Since last night I’ve been busy posting this and that, pictures and music. It seems I can’t write at the moment, the energy of the moment taking over in other ways. Today blogging has been an excuse not to do the things that need doing and I’ve welcomed that excuse. In all fairness I’ve been […]

I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. […]
Whither doest thou wander Spirit… Over hill, over dale, thorough bush, thorough brier, over park, over pale, thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander everywhere, swifter than the moon’s sphere; and I serve the fairy queen, to dew her orbs upon the green. The cowslips tall her pensioners be:in their gold coats spots you see; […]
Some of my best ideas come to me in the wee hours of the morning. It seems the lack of sleep from working nights is very liberating and often the words just start flowing. Unfortunately with that liberating fatigue comes the mistakes that often accompany the writing. One of these days I will learn to […]
‘But I must gather knots of flowers, And buds and garlands gay, For I’m to be Queen o’ the May, mother, I’m to be Queen o’ the May.’ – Alfred Lord Tennyson When I was a little girl we would make crowns from the clover flowers, picking them and braiding them together. My aunts taught […]
It has again been one of those days when I find myself playing with colors rather than writing the words that have been spinning in my head since last night. As May Day, or Beltane approaches it is the time of fairies as our world and the “other world” are said to intertwine. Of course, […]
Today I was looking at a photo someone had taken of a blackbird. For some reason this song popped into my head. I suspect it was one of those “not coincidences.” I found this video on you tube. The lyrics really hit home. The video has some great pics of the Beatles though it may […]
This was on another blog, a wonderful one you may want to visit. I had the opportunity to listen to it there some days ago and I just floated away. I waited for the blog owner to post it on her WP blog, but she never did, so I’m posting it. It’s too beautiful not […]
Tonight the sky is clear, filled with stars, but I cannot find the moon. I have looked in all directions and still she eludes me, but I hear her call. The plan was to sit out for a bit under the moon and stars, something I have longed to do after a cold winter of […]
Today is Earth Day for 2008 at least officially. Every day should be Earth Day, as we all should take care to use resources wisely. There are many things we have changed in our household but there need to be more. It appears all the plastic we have been so ready to use is coming […]
