Written by my good friend Ange
Rain....the sweetest sound
Falling softly on the ground
Awakening the land again
So bleached by sun
And all around
The trees they breathe, their bows refreshed,
And creatures take a timely breath
The scent of raindrops on the ground
The very sweetness of their sound
Reminds me that it won't be long
Until the sun is back to bake the ground...

Unicorn magic.
"Wherever they may have come from,
and wherever they may have gone,
Which means as long as we can dream................there will be unicorns."
The Hare.
In the black furrow of a field
I saw an old witch-hare this night;
And she cocked a lissome ear,
And she eyed the moon so bright,
And she nibbled of the green;
And I whispered "Wh-s-st! witch-hare,"
Away like a ghostie o'er the field
She fled, and left the moonlight there.
-Walter de la mere.
The Seasons.

"Spring, if it lingers more than a week beyond its span, starts to hunger for summer to end the days of perpetual promise. Summer in its turn soon begins to sweat for something to quench its heat, and the mellowest of autumns will tire of gentility at last, and ache for a quick sharp frost to kill its fruitfulness. Even winter - the hardiest season, the most implacable-dreams-, as February creeps on, of the flame that will presently melt it away. Everything tires with time, and starts to seek some opposition, to save it from itself."
-Clive Barker, The Hellbound Heart.
When owls call...

When owls call the breathless moon
in the blue veil of the night
when shadows of the trees appear
amidst the lantern's light
the sounds of the birds seem to fill the wood
and when the fiddler plays
all their voices can be heard
long past their woodland days.
from "Mummers Dance" -Loreena McKennitt.
Salad Dressing Recipes (PHOTOS)
Posted: 01/06/2012 4:49 pm EST
Many of us have succumbed to the convenience of bottled salad dressing, assuming it's not worth making salad dressing recipes from scratch. (Big mistake guys.) Take a look at the ingredients list on a bottle of store-bought dressing -- you might want to reconsider.
It's time to embrace homemade salad dressings and vinaigrettes. Homemade salad dressing recipes are not only easy to make, but so much better for you. It barely takes any effort to make a salad dressing from scratch. Most recipes only require you whisk together a few ingredients or use a blender. And they're fresh, so they taste better (and also make your salads taste better).
