Me and My Shadows....

One for the Road,....In mind of the Hobbits Song

In my mind today as we went walking.

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.



"

Pick a star on the Dark Horizon....

Yesterday evening after a long walk to forage and collect Hedgerow Yummies ( more on that later) The Little Pixie and I spotted an star on the horizon rising above the fells over the Lorton Valley. We have a tradition of singing to the first star we see and then making a wish, as you do.
Star Light, Star Bright
First star I see tonight,
I wish I may I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
and then we wished, my little pixie then chirped up "what did you wish for mummy?"
" I wished that we would have many more walks like this, you and me together"
Then my pixie wished and he offered to share his wish with me,
" I wished just the same as you mummy, everyday, for always" *sigh* ..
