I would love to dance with fairies again, Colleen.
BTW, just added a new page to my blog, sorta. I call it “Queen Lear’s Silly Sentiments”, and it will be for my silly side, with the first offering being a silly poem. Venturing out a little bit, but it’s time. Hugs. ((())) ❤

It would be easier if I could remain on my feet, chair or something more comfortable than the floor! However, this also shall be turned into a silly story, poem, or even a song!
Thanks for your encouragement, Colleen. Now to get my silly thinking cap on!

The wee beings of folklore are so inspiring and comforting. How lovely it would be, to find they are real!

I’ve seen a swamp fairy and a meadow fairy. I believe. They are much more benevolent and nature based than the myths depict them as. I find them comforting. Although, they are here to remind us that we need to protect our earth. ❤
