Fairy wishes for you

May all your fairy dreams and wishes come true.
 When I was a little girl I always used to think of the dandelion flower as Fairies, when they would blow about in the wind.

March, marks the end of summer here for us living in New Zealand and already the cooler mornings and evenings are starting.  It is this weekend that our clocks change back and hopefully when the alarm goes off it will be light for a little bit, before winter sets in.
I am enjoying the Autumn days, as the sky is a beautiful blue and clear and it is actually lovely been outdoors now that the weather is a little cooler.


I have been busy staining the fence  and out in the garden, now while the weather is good and have not had much time to sit at the computer. I do look forward to coming to visit you all and see what you are up to.
So true, thank you Raymond Blanc


It's a wonderful world we live in and do hope that all is well in your part of the world.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn

  1. Hello Carolyn...
    I'm sorry I haven't visited for awhile...it has been busy here. I hope to update over the weekend.
    Your bears from the previous post are adorable. A lot of work and love went into them.
    It is always hard to say goodbye to warm days...but the change of seasons brings new color and scenery. Enjoy the coming few months...
    Have a wonderful week!
    Hugs, Nancy xo

  2. Dearest Carolyn,

    Spring and autumn are in fact my two favorite seasons. Enjoy those days while you can, before it gets really cool... We too are more active outside now. There is so much to do in a garden and around the home.
    Have a great weekend!
    Love,

    Mariette

  17. Hi Carolyn!

    Wow, just so hard to imagine your summer is coming to an end when ours has not even started. (Though, it is feeling a bit like summer already.) We have had unusually warm weather. Not going to complain, not so much a winter person anymore. I like a few days of winter, but not 4-5 months of it.

    I've been digging up dandelions for almost two weeks now.:( I try to keep a bit of control over them by digging them up so that HOA does not spray my yard. I do NOT like chemicals!!! It almost seems like a futile attempt, they appear faster than I can dig, I think.:) I've been intending to go on the Internet and check out how to use them in salads. I hear they are supposed to be very good for you. I could probably live on them, I have so many.:)

    Anyways, I hope you are having a great weekend!

  29. Hi Carolyn,

    I love that you thought of dandelion flowers as fairies! It just conjures up images of little fairies flying all around and making wishes come true. I have little fairies around my garden and find it hard to resist anything fairy. Our Spring just started here and we're having some rain and some sunny days. Very unpredictable where it poured rain yesterday then the sun came out and then it poured... this went on all day! Can't wait for our summer here. But your winter is a great time to nest inside and enjoy a cup a hot tea. That is, after your cool autumn days.

    Cheers,
    Sharon :-)

  30. What a beautiful post...
    I was so excited to see you also find enchantment in these odd, little flowers! I use to run around and "catch" as many of these magical flowers as I possibly could as a child and I would make wish, after wish, after wish... as i blew away their puffy little "stars" (as I'd call them). It didn't matter to me that my wishes did not appear at that moment (hahahahaha)...I felt that God was collecting them for me and that one day HE would scatter them back to me. :)
    I cannot leave here without a smile on my face EVERY TIME I visit you, Carolyn. You are such a special person.
    Next time I see a dandelion, I will make a wish for YOU!
    Have a beautiful week, my friend. xo
