The past two days have been cloudy and very humid. The air felt thick and heavy. Even the birds seemed to be lethargic! This morning however, the sun came out. All clouds have lifted and there is a sense of urgency. Mother Earth is getting ready for the "big" day.
The fairies in my garden are restless preparing to celebrate the Solstice. They flutter about looking for flowers to adorn their hair.
They play and splash in the fountains
I let them rest on my swing and dream of the day when the sun will shine for what will seem forever.
I too, could feel the tremors... the excitement...so I've rushed to air out my wings. I am undecided as to which I'll wear!

I love your fairies. I love your back yard. It looks like a wonderful place to spend your evenings. When I had my magical garden, nights were my favorite time out there.

I love your fairies and enjoyed reading this post! I'm looking to change my career soon so I guess my wings are preparing themselvesxxxx
ReplyDeleteI personally take great joy in the summer solstice. The irrevocable march to winter begins. Why do I think several seasons ahead? I like the anticipation created in your garden.
ReplyDeleteI shall be spending the solstice at Stone henge, watching the sun come up through the perfect alignment of the stones and sharing the wonderful experience with many like minded lovers of this mystical place.
ReplyDeleteps I shall be wearing my wings under my cloak :D
Your fairies are gorgeous. Our weather is not. The sun shone at the weekend so we're wondering if maybe that was summer. I cut the grass but didn't find time to tidy weeds.
ReplyDeleteI love your fairies. How lovely to be a kindred spirit with you. Only a short time and then......magick.

Of course, I love your fairies and your backyard looks like such a pleasant, beautiful, sheltered space to enjoy cool(er) evenings. Do you, perchance, remember my post with the open front door and the words, "Summer, the door is open. Come on in!"? WELL, it has been absolutely freezing since then. Raw and cold and rainy. Happily, I like cold summers - it's a luxury after living in same ol', same ol' sunny CA for so long! Bring on the weather! However, we've had the wood stove going several times this past week.... The point is, cooler, summer evenings, do they exist?
ReplyDeleteI have to think about the wings. I think that sometimes, I am always wearing them and don't take them off!
Love to you, friend! ~me xo
Hi Alina! I love all the fairies in your garden, and love the fairy on your swing. The fabric on your swing is beautiful, it makes me want to "rethink" mine. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteDear Alina
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't visited you recently but I have just had a magical catch up with life here at the Purple Caravan. I see that you have a purple shed - excellent! I love the fairies in your garden and the wonderful photos. It's lovely to come here and be carried away to another place by your fairy wings!
Enjoy the summer solstice my friend.
