The hot weather has continued but despite the mugginess in the air promising us rain it has been scarce. We received a few drizzles again on Friday, we are so thankful to the Water Spirits and the Cloud Spirits. I pray that they distribute water liberally over our dams. I would so rejoice if we …

Fairy Dust & Foxes
On Monday I arrived home to find my entire house coated in a thick layer of dust. Every bit of it. Even my bedroom upstairs. I think I may have brought it on myself. Look at me asking the fairies for dust in my last blog. Fairies have a naughty sense of humour. Norm had …
