WANDER HERE, WANDER HERE

When the heat of the day has wilted your energy and left even your imagination at low ebb, Wander here, Wander Here.



Take the shady path, through the gate, out and around beside the water, past the magic gazing ball in the marjoram---the exotic fragrance rising with each sandal-step.



A small, hopeful sunbeam ignites the white silk of a Peace Lily bloom beside the lane. 


Perhaps fortune will allow us a glimpse of a small fairy, deep in the wood,  before she flees at the sound of our steps.



And as we stroll around the circle and near home again, take your rest, take your ease, and listen to the birdsong.


And to complete the concert, linger beneath the silver web for  more ethereal music, like a gossamer CD spinning out the haunting notes of a Glass Harp:

    Love Sweetpea's outfit.

    Both beautiful and poetic, Rachel. You do have such a way with words.

    That little fairy has never slipped through our fairy door.

    Or has she? She seems nimble enough to slip in, enjoy some honey and fairy tea, and slip away again.

    hmmmm. I will have to be more vigilant in spying for her.

    Oh, what a treat for a hot and humid Sunday afternoon! Your "fairy garden" looks so green and cool and inviting, and your little angel fairy is lovely. Thank you for sharing your beautiful way with words and your delightful imagination with us.

    Ah, I have a magic wood, but no precious fairy. Maybe if I close my eyes I will be able to imagine her flitting hither and yon.

    Hi Rachel, Visiting you at last. Thank you for your many visits while we were on vacation. I always enjoy your every word.

    I think your little fairy is so precious. It makes the whole lovely path and shade look magical. Our family have always believed in fairies. Our mother said fairies were real. We believed her.

    The birthday party for your neighbor is so charming and sweet. Who would think to put a candle in donuts. HA! Only you Rachel. The strawberries look so delicious. I love your idea of a good B-day party.

    More later dear friend. I am falling asleep for the need of a nap.
    Love, Jeanne
