Travellers Palm

A Travellers Palm grows in our backyard and I love it for it's shade and it's beautiful patterns. It acquired its' name because it collects water at the top and the water runs downs these little funnels into a water filled trunk.

The Perfect Day

During the night there was a loud storm with strong gusts of wild wind and sheets of rain that poured off the roof. At sunrise,though, a bright, warm, beautiful world opened up. Evidently It's Indian Summer and I am enjoying the perfect day.
Harry started our day right by making us a breakfast of omelets, then the Baa Brothers and I did a whole 15 minutes of fall clean up:

















Then, we went for a long walk:





(We are so grateful for our miles of conservation land just a short walk from Saturday Farm and this is such a gorgeous time of year. Sometimes we pack some wine and bread and cheese amd spend hours walking the trails. Harry never seems to mind all of the little stops I make to check things out or to take pictures.











(That's my buddy there, Handyman Harry.)





We didn't run across anyone on our walk except this artist working on the little wooden bridge.











(Our pc is broken, so I took all of these photos with my phone so I could upload them to this blog.)
Now, I'm on the couch writing to you and watching the game with Harry. Like I said -the perfect day. Tell me, what is your perfect day?

Uncle Eddie's World - The Time Machine

This beautiful flying horse flies above the entrance gate to Eddie's garden that is pictured below.
Welcome to Eddie's World! When this gate opens it has a tremendous squeak. It is the most beautiful squeak I've ever heard.

(See more pictures of Eddie's gardens and Eddie's castles in an earlier post.)
Hello everybody! I took my friend, Mame, to Eddie's Garden for her birthday. Every time I'm there, I'm delighted to find something new. This time Eddie opened the door to a little shed and showed us his time machine. I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but it's very heavy and it goes on your head. Eddie said that so far he has only been able to go back in time 3 minutes. Once I had it on, I asked Mame for the time - I went back 3 minutes too! Actually, I think a time machine that fits on your head is entirely appropriate - time really is all in our heads anyway. If we can stay focused on the present instead of the past or the future, we'd have all the time we need!

Here it is!

Follow the yellow brick road

(www.oz-farm.com ) I just drove Jason, his guitar, and duffle bag to the P & B bus that will take him to Logan Airport. He's flying to San Francisco where he will meet up again with his girlfriend, Rebecca, and travel to Oz Farm for an internship. Here's the description of Oz Farm on their website: 'Oz Farm is hidden in a quiet, private valley on one of the most pristine stretches of the scenic Mendocino County coast, 130 miles north of San Francisco. (Map & Directions) Bordered with redwood forest, and with the Garcia River running through its 240 acres, Oz Farm is blessed with tranquility, fresh air and clear water. Oz Farm is 'off-the-grid', using solar and wind power for all its operations.' It's an organic farm. They also rent out cabins, accommodate weddings, and yoga retreats, etc. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Jason is especially interested in their goats, chickens and organic farming. So, you are not in Kansas anymore, dear Jason and Rebecca! Happy Trails! And don't forget to call your mom.

Uncle Eddie's World of gardens, castles and fairies

Today Jason, the little Munchkins (Baa Brothers), my friend, Barbara, and I went to see our friend Eddie Foisy (Uncle Eddie) right here on Cape Cod in Harwich. Uncle Eddie really may have the most magical garden in the world. He works all by himself with no help at all. Or possibly, the fairies help him. It's impossible that he has done this by himself, so the only reasonable explanation is that fairies helped him.

{You can see Uncle Eddie's World in Cape Cod by appointment only. 508 432 2080 Donations very much appreciated - Eddie works for the fairies full time and overtime. The only drawback to working for fairies is that although they pay well in blessings, they don't give you any cash.}
"Okay, you people just go ahead...have fun.... we'll be good."

World's only poetry speaking rabbit.

Eddie has animals too and you can see a relative of the Baa Brothers in the circle of the goddess' arms.

We take a little break and try a couple of Eddie's 1999 brews. One was made of nettles and the other lemon balm. They are surprisingly wonderful!

Happy kids - Uncle Eddie and Barbara

Welcome to Eddie's shop

"Time to go little munchkins!"
"Oh, can't we stay a little longer?"
Bromley ate so much that when we arrived home he got stuck between the Baa house and the fence. A few of us had to lift and move the house to get him out. Just like Winnie the Pooh and the honey!
