FAIRIES AT DAWN

Written By Dawn M .2006.

I awoke at dawn and tiptoed out to watch…
The sun peep over the far off hills,
A shaft of silvery light, glittered into the garden,
A shiny black bird sat on high,
He warbled and sang a melody to attract a lady.
I tiptoed out onto the lawn,
Was startled with such surprise.
Everywhere my eyes could see,
Diamonds and jewelled gossamer lace,
Where bluebells and hollyhocks grow tall.
Fairy dresses and shawls sparkled in the early dawn,
On the lupins and the snapdragons hung the daintiest of gowns,
And, in the gloomy light of dawn there, shimmering,
Sequinned coats and tiaras fit for a queen,
On the archway, in each space,
Delicate petticoats of the finest lace.
Twinkling strands of life everywhere,
Little beings, hiding out of sight,
What wondrous little fairies of the early morning light,
The black bird is talking with gifted warble,
A thought, Is that black bird secretly singing…
To the fairies under the hollyhock leaves?
Arbours are filled with beautiful scents,
Trees that will bear magnificent fruit
This is the tale of the fairies at dawn,
Singing songs, telling stories to guide the way,
Through the trail of fairy gardens, glens and vales.

A LOVING WORD OR A HUG IS GOOD MEDICINE.

2006-08-27T01:40:00.000-07:00

HUGS, HUGS, HUGS AND MORE HUGS!
A loving gentle caress and hug is sometimes better than words.
If the right words won't come to mind a big gentle hug will do.
A hug says compassion and I'm here if you need to talk.
So just give a hug to all those you love when you meet next and feel the love.

SPRING IS ALMOST UPON US.

2006-08-24T20:22:00.000-07:00

WHAT A GARDEN TO BEHOLD!

A truly beautiful painting. It brings sparkle to ones,
soul and the colours make you want to dance.
It will soon be spring...actually in 6 more days Springs,
beautiful child will be born and birds will sing and the
sun will begin to get warmer. Hopefully with the birth of
spring the heavens may sprinkle us with lots of refreshing
rain to alleviate the drought, that has a tight grip and is
not wanting to let up.

2006-08-23T20:50:00.000-07:00

I just had this little thought
and since I don't have a lot
to say today, I will let my
little message attached here
say it all. I wish everyone in
blog land a beautiful loving
day of peace and goodwill.
God Bless you all, and may
peace be with you.

WORDS AND WHAT THEY MEAN.

2006-08-22T23:16:00.000-07:00

I enjoy perusing the dictionary and get a lot of pleasure out of words and in particular unusual or little used words in today's vocabulary. Over on my other blog. A blog mate has on her journal a word of the day and I have found this to be fascinating and very interesting exercise. Today I was reading and came across this word and immediately was scrambling for my dictionary to find the meaning. The word is...

MERETRICIOUS---MEANING=DECEITFULLY AND ARTIFICIALLY ATTRACTIVE. VULGAR, TAWDRY, WANTON...PERTAINING TO HARLOT, PROSTITUTE.

So I will be keeping my eye open for interesting, unusual words that have slipped from the vocabulary over time.

FRIENDS YOU AND ME.

2006-07-31T23:03:00.000-07:00

Many people will walk in and out of your life.
But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others use your heart,
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once,
It is his fault;
If he betrays you twice,
It is your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds dicuss people.
He, who loses money, loses much;
He, who loses a friend, loses much more;
He, who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
Friends, you and me
You brought another friend
And then there were three
We started our group
Our circle of friends
There is no beginning or end.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
Show your friends how much you care....

MOTHER'S HEART...

Oh, if there be in retrospection's chain

One link that knits us with young dreams again,

One thought so sweet, we scarcely dare to muse

On all hoarded rapture it reviews---

Which seems each instant in it's backward range,

The heart to soften and its ties to chain,

And every spring, untouched for years, to move---

It is the memory of a Mothers deep love.

Is that God is the same God for...

This little verse is a very true few
little words and is very comforting
for a person to know in times of stress
and anxiety. So to anyone out there
who needs the love of a true friend
I pray you find comfort in these few
little words.

EXPERIENCE AND TAPESTRY.

2006-05-01T19:26:00.000-07:00

Written By...HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

I long to put the experience of fifty-plus years at once,
into your young lives, To give you at once the key of
that treasure chamber every gem of which has cost me
tears and struggles and prayers, but you must all work
for these inward treasures that make up the tapestry
of life yourselves.

2006-04-28T20:24:00.000-07:00

A week ago my friend became a Grandmother and it's funny because when you become a Grandmother you come back to a mystic time in your mind where everything is rosy and fairies and angels pop out from everywhere that is lovely in your minds eye. I was so happy for my friend because until you become a Grandmother you cant really explain it without sounding dotty. She has been to see the new addition to her family everyday for a cuddle and to just adore the little baby boy and dote. You see these beautiful little beings and your heart melts and you want nothing but all good things for them. When they enter your heart the love you have for them is so wholesome and you see the circle of life move one more notch as it has for generations past.

THE JOY OF RAISING A CHILD.

2006-04-21T22:29:00.000-07:00

I have this beautiful little book called Mother Another Word for Love, given to me by my daughter a good many years ago and in it today, I was reading this little verse written by Dr. J. A. Holmes.

A beautiful little baby enters your home and makes so much noise for 15 to 20 years or more...you can hardly stand it- then departs, leaving the house so silent you think you'll go stark raving mad within your noise free empty house.

WALKING THE PATH OF HARMONY.

2006-04-21T22:14:00.000-07:00

With all your relations and friends,
The four legged, winged and finned ones,
Creatures great and small.

"BAILEE'S ANGEL" & BAILEE STANDING...

This is our beautiful Bailee standing up by herself
at her birthday party on the 26th of March 2006.
We were so happy and overjoyed for her that she
didn't have to sit in her wheelchair to participate
in some of the games and activities. Bailee has an
Angel looking out for her and I have tagged her as
Bailee's Angel.

DREAMS FOR BAILEE.

2006-04-18T05:11:00.000-07:00

I love all my Grandchildren equally but I have special and loving dreams for Bailee. She is such a sweet little girl with eyes that shine like sparkling diamonds. She oozes with love and people are drawn to her naturally.
Bailee was born with a muscle weakness and from the moment she drew breath the battle was on. Over the last 7 years of her life she has leaped some huge hurdles and has come such a long way. She had an operation last July 2005 and as a result can now stand up with the help of leg braces and can walk in her walking frame. She goes to school; and is as smart as a tack. And all the children just love her and can't help her enough. So may this Dream Catcher Catch harbour all the good and beautiful dreams for Bailee and filter out all the negative. Love always to our Bailee. XOXO.

I'M STARTING AGAIN.

2006-04-17T20:38:00.000-07:00

Some time ago I started another blog with this mob and lost my pass word and try as I might to get them to help me find my password they just didn't want to or try to help really, so in frustration I have had to let that blog go floating into space. It had gone askew and I needed to be able to get in there and straighten it up, but that wasn't going to happen any time soon and after sending for help a thousand times I realised it would be best to start again. So here is the start of my new blog with the same mob. I will to the best of my ability return all what I had on the previous blog give or take. So that's the story of my previous blog.
The real message is make sure you don't forget password as I did when I got sick in the last 3 months of 2005.

PHILLIP ISLAND VICTORIA AUSTRALIA

2006-01-02T02:55:00.000-08:00

At Christmas time we had our Son his wife and family come to stay and one of the outings we took them on was to Phillip Island down Western Port Bay in Victoria. So on 30th December 2005 on a scorcher of a day 43% C we took off for the 2 &1/2 hour drive in 2 cars, not knowing we were going to be in a long car park for several hours because unbeknown to us there was going to be a 2 night festival for New Year on Phillip Island. We finally made it onto the Island around 4:30PM and we went to our good friends and neighbours holiday home and had a lovely visit and a beautifully prepared meal. They so enjoyed seeing all our Grandchildren, about
7:00PM we made our way to the penguin parade at the seaside and bought each of the children a lovely little stuffed penguin for a lasting memory of their holidays. Then we went on down the boardwalks to the top of the dunes over looking the sea to await the arrival of the worlds littlest penguins to roll and wash out of the sea and then to make their way up to the top of the dunes to their nests to feed their baby chics. The children so enjoyed the spectacle of the little penguins waddling up out of the sea and into the dunes, it's amazing how far from the sea they actually travel. In the next couple of blog entries you will see photos of the penguins and our Grandchildren.
