Happy MidSummer, Litha, Summer Solstice to you all.....

This regularly scheduled post is interrupted by absolutely fandamtastic news. The people of Van Horn Texas have done the right thing and cancelled the donkey roping this Saturday. Carson from 7MSN Ranch has spoken to Jason Owen the promoter and is confident that the donkeys will be surrendered to Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue where they will live in a pasture and never have to be roped again. If you have a spare bit of money, $10 even, that you could donate to PVDR, it will go to feeding and medical care for these "saved just in time" donkeys. I thought you would all want to know the good news. Also there is a list of the folks in Van Horn and email addresses to thank them for doing the right thing on Morning Bray Farms blog.  Remember "Nice Matters" and so do all of you who helped with thoughts, emails, phone calls and encouragement to the cause of eradicating donkey roping. XOXO Oma Linda
And now back to Solstice.


Yes, they are getting a little older. And yes, I am the one who is the most excited about the faeries. It happens. But, I still cajoled the girl child to dress up and humor me. And she looks like she hated it huh? I swear, the grands are so sweet and hamish. They love to have their pictures taken, get dressed up and they even like to humor old ladies. All without threats of no ice cream before breakfast. Never fear, Ry has Uncle Sam already under control for the 4th.

I have been accused by dumb folks of flaunting them for my own purposes.....well who in the hell's purposes do you think this blog belongs to? I would admit it if they didn't want to...because I would be the one in the blue tutu and pink striped tights and then you all would be complaining but since that isn't the case......I hope you enjoy my cowgirl/faerie and our homage to Summer Solstice and the fae.









And now there you are. May the fae let you know of their presence and may you be blessed by it.

And if you know of someone who needs this glorious tutu, it is for sale in my Etsy shop.

  10. On the roping falter...YEEHAW!!! See what you started, you beautiful Queen of Everything? Nearly brings a tear to my eye.

    Your cowgirl fairy is an enchanting wonder! Oh, she is a true beauty. Flaunt on, sweet lady. For your flaunting brings the rest of us such tender hearts and genuine smiles that is can only be a wonderful gift you bestow. I can't wait to see Ry on the 4th! Warm hugs and kisses to you and those wonderful grands.
