I LOVE Secret Garden, although haven't read it in quite a while. I need to do a blog post today. I drove ALL DAY Saturday - ugh! -- and was recovering a bit yesterday. Plus I need to put new batteries in the camera, and just haven't bothered .... I do occasionally need a little day or two break from blogging, but not for long! No poetry yet from me; the inspiration fairy hasn't not yet descended on my brain.

Your owls are so cute and full of personality, too!! One of the first things I remember about elementary school was our second grade teacher teaching us how to draw an owl.

My Matthew especially adored the Borrowers & became obsessed with tiny, miniature things..he still likes wee things, actually. I'm glad that you make stuff just because I keep eyeing up the velvet moss that I see around the place...I am tempted to make a fairy garden. I am thinking about it. I have just read some reviews about The Book of Summers...in what way did it alter your thinking...I am wondering? I saw a sign this week that said..Don't ever grow up it's a trap!! so I've definitely decided not to. Happy Granny camping.

I think you must be a fantastic friend to have! <br /><br />I loved Frances Hodgson Burnett when I was growing up, but I think I loved Noel Streatfield more (Ballet Shoes was such fun to read) I devoured books, sometimes reading two, or even three, in a day! <br /><br />I'm so sorry not to be welcoming The Willows this year - I would have loved to have seen the book, and to meet the Chaps!

I have a wonderful book of fairy poetry and stories that I cherish. I have indeed written poetry...lots of it. Even sold a couple to magazines. I have a couple of stories published in Highlights and Ladybug. I used to write a lot for children...not so much now. It does keep childhood alive for us "adults" though! Love your post!

Such fun things to think about being borrowed.
