"Fairyland"

"The woods are just behind our house,
And every afternoon at four
I go to pick the lovely flowers
That grow right up beside the door;
Nurse says that just old weeds are there~
I call them Garlands for Queen's hair.


The woods stretch westward far away;
The trees are very tall and green;
They grow on little dimpled hills,
With grassy hollows in between.
Nurse says our woods aren't very grand~
I think that they are FAIRYLAND.

Dear Friends,

We wish these woods were behind our house, but alas, we had to drive to get there!

We snacked on sweet rose hips~

But avoided these pretty nightshade berries!

The water in the pond was as clear as glass~

And the clouds were buttermilk and feathers.

The crowning even was seeing a pair of bald eagles, fishing in the river~
Can you see them, one in the air and one with a fish in its talons (You may want to click on the image to get a better view!)

We are so grateful that the eagles are increasing in numbers. Many people have sacrificed much to preserve these magnificent birds.

We wish we had a close-up of this eagle in the middle!

We hope you enjoyed coming to the woods with us today~Thank you, as always, for your friendship and love. May you be filled with peace today.

Love,
