The Land keeps us away
Lots has been happening here on The Land. Amberfox is ready for the High Summer Gathering.
The Land and the spirit here have been keeping us from blogging. I know we could pull ourselves away to blog and we will try more to do that. That's why we have a blog, right?
So we will try to resist the full pull the temptation of this place some of the time to tell you more about whats happening or has happened.
Aside for a trip to see Superman, Johnny's new pirate movie and The Stewart Park Music Festival in Perth, all of which I mentioned enough to eventually get all here to go, we have been happily sequestered here on the land.
One of the biggest changes is with the tractor shed, some 60 years or more old it has needed some tender care in return of years of good service. New doors ins
talled, foundation secured and hertiage hinges uncovered and put to use. Much of this required some dunging out inside and outside this ancient building.
Uncovering many artifacts of previous lives, mostly in the form of iron from long since discarded farm machinery, some of it easily over a hundred years of age. An old set of sliegh rails, a wagon hitch with much of its wood long since rotted away, and many unidentifible pieces.
Wildlife has returned in abundance as have the fruits of the land, heritage Crab Apples, Asparagus, Raspberries, Currents and pin Cherries. All loved by the many creatures that live here. Several pies have been concocted with these berries with Ken's Erection style magic.
The sauna is ready, new shower and clothes line make it that much more inviting, wood aplenty waiting to be enjoyed, to be sure it is ready it has been tested and retested often lately bringing much happiness.
More news tomorrow, more pictures from here and the nearby Missisippi!
The High Summer Gathering is days away! Hope to see you there.

What's new now...
Watch for the soon to be released saga of a faerie's journey east. A journey beginning in an enchanted forest, in the far west, high in the mountains, where Northwind and Boy Ricky hail.
Encounters and strange happenings come to the one travelling. Travelling expectantly, meeting faeries across the land - guided by forces felt but unseen. Just one more hour, just 50 more kilometres, rest awaits, company to share...
More to come...

What's in a name...
Your name....
Many Faeries take on another name, a name used among Faeries. Have you decided to choose a name for your Faerie self. Were you guided to select a name? Here is a link to some faerie names and by no means is the list exhaustive.
Your Faerie name can be what you like, something from your own name, your dreams, your wishes, your experiance, anything you want.
I choose Boy Ricky, a derivitive of my name and hopefully expressive of my spirit and who I am. Be creative, make it up, there be no rules to follow. Now I wonder, where did the name Shy-Anne come from or Cockelf? Or Shimmer or Pinkie? And Chip?
