“Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air –
An armful of white blossoms,
A perfect commotion of silk & linen…
…& have you too finally figured out what beauty is for?
& have you changed your life?”–The Swan, Mary Oliver born #OTD in 1935.

#FairyTaleTuesday
Often short stories set in verse tell the best tales, and truest love stories.
The Dog
The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I've also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.

@Beth396 Feliz Sábado querida Beth. Que tengas un fin de semana tranquilo y relajante, amiga mía. Cariños.
#MythologyMonday Celtic lore connects bats with witches, ghosts & all manner of beings that traverse the night. Sometimes the bat was a fairy in disguise, a Phooka, who would kidnap his victim to take them on adventures. Some say it is actually the soul being taken on a journey.
Edward Burne-Jones, English Pre-Raphaelite painter and designer, born #OTD in 1833. He brought imaginary worlds to life in awe-inspiring paintings, stained glass windows and tapestries.
@Beth396 Buenos días querida Beth, gracias por tus amables deseos. Es un fin de semana largo aquí y siento que el verano llega a su fin. Sin embargo, estoy emocionado y positivo a medida que se acerca el otoño. Que tengas un maravilloso fin de semana, amiga mía. Cariños.
