THE SONG OF THE WINDFLOWER FAIRY!
While human-folk slumber,
The fairies espy
Stars without number
Sprinkling the sky.
The Winter's long sleeping,
Like night-time, is done;
But day-stars are leaping
To welcome the sun.
Star-like they sprinkle
The wildwood with light;
Countless the twinkle----
The Windflowers white!
Hi!
My name is Mary....Star had do go in and pratice her
violin, so she asked if I would show you the letter
E!
It is a pleasure to meet all of you. I just met
Star, and she is already like a big sister to me.
First let us look to see what the flower is for May!
The flower for May is the Lily which is strong and
so many differnt colors.
The birth stone is the Emerald, such a beautiful
color green.
As far as I know there is the elm tree and the
elderberry for the letter E.
But I will keep looking!
So, let us go to the Herbs,----- which there only
has one!
English Mallow------(Althea officinalis)----is a
member of the hollyhock family. The leaves and roots
have been used as vegetables and medicines since
ancient times. The name comes from the Greek word
altho which means "to heal".....
Medicinal Use:
English Mallow is used primarily for its soothing
properties, and a cold maceration of the root will
be of help in soothing the digestive tract and ease
gastric ulcers.
It is also useful in chest colds and bronchitis.
English mallow has been used to help heal ureters
and urethra when there has been damage from kidney
stones. A poultice of the leaves or powdered root
can be used for boils, abscesses, ulcers and other
skin conditions. An infusion of the flowers was used
historically as a mouthwash.
It sounds like Star is still practicing on her
violin. It sounds rather good. Capt.Cutlass are you
still looking for Cpt.Blood?
I saw him down by his ship, getting ready to set her
sails. I told him that Star and something very
important to tell him, and he said that he will be
bye to say his farewells. He is waiting for High
tide!
THE SONG OF THE FUCHSIA FAIRY!
Fushsia is a dancer
Dancing on her toes,
By a cottage wall;
Sometimes in a greenhouse,
In frilly white and rose,
Dressed in her best for the fairies' evening ball!
June is such a fun time of the year. Let us look
and see what the birth flower and stone will be!
Oh!...... that is right the flower for June is the
Rose! Oh!, how I love the smell of roses! You will
have to wait for the R's to know all about the
Roses!
The birth stone is a Pearl! I had never thought of
a Pearl as a stone, for it does not come from the
ground, but from an oyster!
