Magic IS out there...you just need to look

A little while ago on my Facebook status, I put out a call for magic. It is difficult for me to explain exactly how I have been feeling of late but it is certainly fair to say that I have been somewhat void of magic of late.

My beloved fairies seemed to have disappeared.

Where once I could feel them, lately I have been feeling rather alone. (obviously though I am not really alone as I have my wonderful family but something has definitely been missing) Anyway my request for magic has been answered.

Yesterday I (well actually hubby) discovered that our pineapple plant is actually growing a pineapple. How is that magic? I hear you ask, pineapple plants are meant to grow pineapples. Which is correct they are, however this particular plant has led a tough life.

To start with I am not the worlds best gardener. The whole watering thing is a bit beyond me, well actually anything involving a routine is beyond me but that is another story. Aside from becoming very drought tolerant, this plant has not always been in the one spot.

I was given the plant by a dear friend. I am sure she is some sort of fairy creature but what exactly I don't know. Anyway she had the plant in a pot, however when she was forced to move house she decided it was time for the plant and her to part ways. This, obviously, is where I come into it.

In my wisdom I thought that I should free the roots and plant it in the ground. Great idea if I could have decided where I wanted it before I dug the hole. In the end I moved this poor pineapple three times. Not giving it much chance of survival, the possibility of it fruiting was not even considered!

Now here I am over 12 months later with a beautiful little pineapple growing. Who said there wasn't magic in the world!

A Toad

Now I know that I should love all of the earth's creatures, and generally speaking I do but these, pesky little critters really get under my skin. They are of course the dreaded Cane Toad This particular specimen was a visitor to my front veranda recently.

Lost In Space

That's how I feel at the moment, like I am just floating around in an airless vacuum that restricts my movement.

Before I go any further I must pay thanks to Ilco (who you can find at stock.xchng ) for the starry image. For while it may be a little dark, from where I am these are the stars I see.


So life has been rather ?????? I would like to say hectic as that would explain nothing getting done, but it hasn't really been hectic, I've just been lazy! However relaxing isn't quite the right word either. Hence the lost in space feeling I guess...I feel isolated and disconnected from my fairy strengths, and the world at large really.

There are a number of things happening at the moment that are beyond my control. Not that I am a control freak but I like to at least have some say as to what happens in my life! It makes me uncomfortable to have confrontations and I generally try to avoid them at all costs. But then don't we all?

The Tooth Fairy

We all loved a visit from the Tooth Fairy. Not just because it meant money but also because it was a small sign of growing up and becoming more adult. Which for some reason is appealing as a child!

Anyway from a parent's perspective keeping track of the collection of lost teeth can get confusing yet they are not something you want to get rid of. My brilliant daughter came up with a fantastic way to preserve these special memories for eternity.
