THE TIME HAS COME...

 

"The time has come," the Walrus said,

"to talk of many things, of shoes and ships

and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings,

and why the sea is boiling hot,

And whether pigs have wings."

~Lewis Carroll~

THE FAIRY GARDEN AT MEADOWLARK GARDENS 5-5-22 - AND A WHIMSICAL TALE

There were a few old friends here, and a few new ones.  It was good to see the Fairies back after their winter sleep.

"A rustle in the wind reminds us, a fairy is near."  I don't know who the author is of this quote, but there's been a lot of rustling lately.

The three Graces were out in front of their tiny houses, chatting away.

Mommy Fairy was listening to her son about his day in Fairy School, while waiting for dinner to finish cooking.

The frogs had gone back to the lily pads for a rest, but other help had arrived to take care of things. 

 A Little Brown Skink was on guard.   

The Fairies appreciated it taking care of them while the frogs were away.

The Dragon also made an excellent guard.

He looked fearsome and could be if needed but, was also gentle and kind.

He had adopted the Fairies and they were his family. 

The Queen of the Fairies could also be fearsome to protect her young...don't mess with that fairy stick!

The Flying Pig and other Piggies were standing guard...

 also the Jolly Gnomes.  

And listen carefully...

soft, musical notes are coming from the pansies...

These pansies were singing a different tune.  Yes, different but all flowers grow in the same soil, where music is One...

and when combined, their notes sing the promise of peace all throughout the Fairy Kingdom.

And so it goes in the Fairy Garden.  

OUR SON'S PHOTOS TODAY - FROM PUMPKINS TO PIGS TO CHICKENS TO GOATS

Today's post is thanks to our Son who went looking for pumpkins to carve with our Daughter-in-Law.  I will let you see what they did with their pumpkins early next week.

"The Jack O’Lantern chuckled then winked his funny eye, I would rather be a pumpkin-face than be inside a pie!”   

Soon Pumpkin, very soon!

~Author Unknown~

Like his mother, and his grandfather and his great-grandmother, he was drawn to the animals to take photos for mother, so that he could share them with her because he knew they would bring mother a big smile.  And they did.

Thanks Son, you are the best!

I expect many of you are out there preparing too.  

SOME DAYS...

Flying Pig

I will always live in hope.

Pigs WILL fly one day!
