Fairies gladden, sharing beauty,
Fences cannot hold them back.
They dance in and out of spindles
Spreading magic along their track.

Happy Monday! I’ll soon be traveling and changing time zones, but I will still be in search of magic. May you find some in your life, too! My heart shines with joy at beginning a summer adventure. I hope you go adventuring, too! And I have discovered the joy of compression bags and packing cubes. LOL These are quite magical things not unlike Hermione’s beaded bag in Book 7 of Harry Potter. How I long for Hermione’s beaded bag… What are you longing for?
Lovely indeed! Sorry i haven’t been by lately… so hard to keep up but I’ve missed your magic 😉

Aw, thank you! And no worries, I have to do drive-bys, too, or I would miss so much. My reader fails me on a regular basis. It’s been losing my likes and wasting hours of my time. So frustrating!! Hugs, Brenda

I’m sure those fairies dance in and out of the spindles in your garden all the time – it always looks so lovely! 🙂 I hope you have an enjoyable time travelling wherever you go! I have no idea what Hermione’s beaded bag is, but it sounds like it might be something I’d want!! 😀

You haven’t read Harry Potter?!? Oh, I have now read them three or four times. I read them aloud with my second son. I started liking middle grade fiction when I was pregnant. I’m still reading it 12 years later, and I’m writing it, too. Getting pregnant changed my life on so many levels. So very thoroughly. Anyway, yes, I’m sure you would want Hermione’s beaded bag. 🙂

Thanks! We were to stay on a houseboat, but it sprang a leak! We are all squashed into a tiny hotel room! Ugh! We have trouble sleeping when all 5 of us are in one room. You have a happy week!

Oh noes at being squashed into the one room. We recently did that when we went on vacation down to Katherine.
Stuart (also known as Fungus 3) resorted to taking all his blankets and pillows and literally sleeping in the bathtub IN the bathroom because he couldn’t handle the coughs, snorts, snoring or mumbling (apparently) in the room.. lol

Oh yes, we are a symphony of moaners. 🙂 And my son sighed and flopped around on the sofa bed like a champ. My daughter chirped to her buddies. A restless night for all. Sigh.

You still are that person, your quest is now in an inner landscape. Revealing is a brave job, too. And yes, to be a witch in the world of HP would be a fine thing. To be a muggle in that world, a frightening thing. LOL

I’m no muggle . . . I’ve had too may experiences otherwise. At some point, if such a thing is possible, I surely was a Warlock. It lingers with me. Perhaps just a flight of fancy. Peace . . .
