Daffodils break through old leaves
beside the greening grass,
and warming sunshine draws
tiny caterpillars from their eggs. Continue reading

Recovery is Ribbiting
Update the day after surgery: I may be a bit green from the meds, but my kids are bringing me tea and tucking my blankets tighter. I’m managing to keep down simple foods. Thanks for all the good wishes, friends. Life is good. Hope you have a magical week!
Happy Valentine Friday!
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
it’s Valentine Friday
so yippee and WAH-HOOOO!

wishes took flight. Wishes of
healing, happiness, and light.
And peace, joy, and plenty for all,
whether busy as bees.
Or lonely and small. Continue reading

with their high yellow note,
hold the scent of orchards

A Book by the Brook — It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk
Finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
— William Shakespeare
If you love books pulsing with voice, that magical quality that brings characters to life, you’ll love It’s Not Jack and the Beanstalk, by Josh Funk, illustrated by Edwardian Taylor, Two Lions, 2017. Continue reading
A BOOK BY THE BROOK – Weird Witchy Words
Finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.
— William Shakespeare
If fantasy and magic are your cup of tea, you’ll enjoy the Shifter by Janice Hardy, the Apprentice Witch by James Nichol and the Peculiar Haunting of Thelma Bee by Erin Petti. The first has magical healers, the second has a girl who’s in over her head trying to help a community in peril and the third has spells that predate pagans. So if you want a break from the news, sit a spell and weave magic with great writers.
