Brand newness

Bit of this

I stoop to pick the smallest of the ivy leaves from the ground and notice heart shaped leaves and perfect miniature stinging nettles. Everywhere underfoot newness.

   

Warm sun with a whip of cold wind, I suddenly want to shed outer layers and expose my skin to the  coldness hoping to sooth my back. Aware of the fright I may give other walkers, I compromise and now sit here, a cool caressing wind blowing through the window.

From nowhere a bright pink fairy with purple tights and pink shoes runs around the old manor wall corner, her dark curly hair bouncing in her wake.

Bit of that

Magic

Sandra's seen a leprechaun,

Eddie touched a troll,

Laurie danced with witches once,

Charlies found some goblin's gold,

Donald heard a mermaid sing,

Susy spied an elf,

But all the magic I have know

I've had to make myself.

( Shel Silverstein)

And here's a nod to a friend who sings this better!
