Reruns.....
You Might recall, Dear Readers, that the Lilac beside the Folly door only blooms briefly in the Springtime. The rest of the Summer it is clad all in green and goes largely unremarked as it stands in quiet leafy abundance beside the tiny patio. The morning sunshine fills this corner early on sunny days and often Will and Gabrielle sit outside for a few minutes at the start of their days.
Their lives are often too busy to linger,
so they try to grab the minutes they can.
They are often in too much of a hurry
to stop and notice the little worlds they rush past...
The dew spangled summer spider webs in the bush....
Or to glance down as they step from the porch....
is that a fairy mushroom circle.....
hiding under the lilac?
Can you see them tucked in under the lilac stems...?
And is that a tiny fairy chair left under the cobwebs....?
Or has the sunlight dazzled our eyes and played tricks....?
But, lo! When a cloud momentarily blocks the sun,
we can still see the tiny mushroom circle and the abandoned chair...!
But Will and Gabrielle have not noticed at all!
And as for the question, Dear Readers,
of where the little TV will find a home,
the answer to me was obvious!
You have not visited Sally May and Chip's house,
The "Shabby Sister House" for quite some time,
but I assure you Time has not stood still.
Sally May did a little shopping a while ago.
She found this charming shelf with storage baskets
which fit perfectly in her still unfinished living room.
And you can see my first "large" stitched
petit-point carpet has found its home here.
Chip's folks, Ernie and Blanche, have been
hanging out here since early in the pandemic...
they are quite at home by now!
And if you look in the back corner of the room,
you will see an old TV set....
well, it is supposed to be a TV set!
(This is the only one of my dollhouses to have a TV set!)
a little bit for better viewing!
Ernie doesn't like to admit how much he likes the old summer reruns!
(Do you even remember Summer Reruns?)
Well, Dear Readers, ready or not,
it is Summertime....
The season of dew spangled spiderwebs,
Fungus fairy circles....
and Re-runs!
