The world is very old, and sometimes sad,
But when the daisies come, the world is glad.
The world is very old, but every Spring
It groweth young again, and fairies sing.
~ Cicely Mary Barker

Good morning everyone, have a good day

Every 1st of May my mother used to tell my sister and I that if we washed our faces in the morning dew our skin would be beautiful. We used to laugh but I still did it in the vain hope that my freckles would disappear. They didn't 😬

O magic sight, the hedge is white
My scent is very sweet
And lo, where I am come indeed
The Spring and Summer meet

“They may seize
0n the white wonder of dear Juliet’s hand
And steal immortal blessing from her lips,
Who, even in pure and vestal modesty,
Still blush, as thinking their own kisses sin.”
Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Sc 3

I am HERE for academic essays on clothes of flower fairies and Beatrix Potter characters.

I had Cicely Mary Barker's alphabet on my wall as a child and adored it, though a bit disappointed in H. I feel I'm an F kinda gal.

Come, all you blackbirds, bring your wives,
Your sons and daughters too;
The finest banquet of your lives

“I’m everyone’s darling: the blackbird and starling
Are shouting about me from blossoming boughs;
For I, the Lent Lily, the Daffy-down-dilly,
Have heard through the country the call to arouse.”
