I remember, when we were living at the house in the roses
how confused I used to feel when people referred to December 21st as being the
first day of winter; forgetting that we were already deep in the 3rd month of
truly cold wintery days by then… here in the South I finally got to realize
that winter does indeed starts at the end of the year.
Ah yes, Father Winter looked down at us from way up there
where he sits in his glacial northern throne last night, and decided he should
remind us that he’s still king of the January land… even here in the south…
Our pond got solid iced… so pretty.
Ready for a witches game of broom-ball!
Anyone?
It gets in your blood you know!
Ah but such beautiful, delightful blessed
sunshine…
My little white cottage is a nugget of sunshine
everyday at nine AM…
a faultless pearl in the sea where I am the absolute irrefutable Mermaid Queen
I am so blessed and, amazed at what has transpired in my life in the last few years… that I can stay home and enjoy my little life as it is, in my solitude, in my peaceful surroundings and quiet ways with no ogres to have to obey or endure it truly is amazing to me.
And princess of my days...

Oh an ogre yes yes… have I not mentioned it? One day long long ago when we were living at
the house in the roses I used to work at The Three Broomsticks. If you don’t know what that is, it is an inn
and pub in the all wizarding village
of Hogsmeade. Yeap, that very village in Harry Potter's. I surely did
worked there once! My ogre-like being boss used
to fly his Hogstick all day long; spinning around like the crazy Hippogriff
that he was… I’m still waiting to see
him flyin’ off from a cliff one day… na na na ma ma ny na na ny na…
My goodness I’m feeling so witchy today… and happy! Happy
too, because happiness is when you feel good about yourself without feeling the
need for anyone else’s approval…
Happy day to you my friend!
I guess my first comment did not go through. I was asking about your tablecloth and runner. Did you make them? I really like how it looks. It is -15 here in Michigan and getting colder. Where in the South are you? Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteOh no I didn’t make them… I so wish I knew how to sew. My secret: The white tablecloth is a second hand store king side bed skirt, the burlap table runner is from Pottery Barn—a little pricey, but it was a gift from my husband. You can actually buy natural burlap at Hobby Lobby for a very reasonable price. They also carry the pretties of burlap and lace table runner – only $19.99. The vintage white crochet table runner was also another thrift store find. I love it.
DeleteKeep warm!

Cielo, I must have worked where you worked! but it is wonderful to be home now! your story is so inspiring to me, and funny! thank you.
ReplyDeleteSusan I have a feeling that many of us kindred spirits had worked in a place like that with people like that at one point or another in our lives. It is hard for highly sensitive people like us to thrive when the world overwhelms us…
DeleteHugs

What delightful icy images! Not that I want to be out in it, but it is so gorgeous! That little fairy must be a snow queen.
ReplyDeleteOh you're so right... she must be the snow queen she must! Love the idea! ;)
Deletethank you Jacqui!
Cielo
Oh, and I worked for an Odress! Is there such a thing? Oh, yes, there is! She positively cackled in her witchy shoes! Long, long ago. Glad you are happy. Happiness is so beautiful.

What a pretty winter view out the window Cielo! I had no idea that it got that cold anywhere in the southern U.S. Your little garden fairy needs to put on a sweater before she gets the sniffles!
ReplyDeleteOh a sweater.... what a cool idea that is! I shall find one soon! ;)
DeleteCielo
How is your little feral kitty doing in the cold?
ReplyDeleteUh oh... my feral friends... more than one! I'd have to prepare a post to tell you all about it... I shall I will! Soon.
