Fairy Garden








Since I got a rather late start, thanks abundant spring rain, my fairy garden isn't exactly how I planned it.  However, I chose not abandon the project in favor of just altering it because I do tend to neglect entirely when I feel challenged by them. So, the garden was a exercise in going ahead and adapting.

Haunted Ice Cream Parlor (A Cozy Sleep Story)

            It’s been a very hot week, so hot that you’ve begun to feel lethargic and uncomfortable. You love summer , but this has been a bit much. You settle into bed at the end of yet another, long, hot day, but you are having trouble falling asleep no matter how you adjust your fan.   You take some deep breaths, trying to relax and empty your mind of the days wants and tomorrows plans, but all you can think of is how good a bowl of nice, cold ice cream would be. Hmmm, ice cream......   You close your eyes only to open, finding yourself on a humid city street you know well, but this version feels different somehow .

People play games and watch movies on their phones, even when there out in public and can be getting to know people or enjoying their surroundings.

Tea, Wings, and a really, big fish.

Last Sunday I embarked on a road trip to the Lancaster PA area to visit one of my very best friends. After exchanging Christmas gifts, yes, Christmas gifts, we met up with one of her friends for tea at Sugarplums and Tea. f you've never had lemon curd, which I hadn't till then, it tastes like tart lemon pie filling. It was amazing, dainty, yet delicious tea sliders, salads, scones with lemon curd, and of course tea. After that, we had a wonderful cookout and went to a movie. I don't get to hang out with a group often, so this was was quite fun. The next day, my friend Mel and I mostly stayed in to watch Downton Abbey, but in the evening we met her boyfriend at Quips Pub for wings and coffee flavored by Baily's. Yum and Yum. It was a fun looking place, a dart board, lively people. My last day I got to see Jonah at Sight and Sound.  The underwater scene perfectly creates the illusion of being under neath the waves with Jonah and the whale. However, the spect...
