The spring gargen with our very own garden elf!














Two weeks ago when we had" SUN" I was able to harvest some herbs from the garden. Mint, sage ,thyme and some marjoram. It is so nice to have this in the winter time, especially during Christmas.

Last May we all worked together and one of my dreams to have a little pond in the back yard came true. A nice place to read or just sit and think. Thank you family.

Aviaryanna and her Halcyons



Halcyon (hal-see-en) are birds from mythology. The belief was that the bird hatched its young in a nest floating on the sea during the winter solstice. They are supposed to have a peaceful,calming influence on the waters. This is where we get the saying "Halcyon day."

I imagine that Aviaryanna is getting ready to send the birds off just before the winter solstice , peacefully waiting for their return.
