~Autumn Gardening~

poppies, sweet peas,
broccoli, peas
being in the fresh air
close to the earth
feeling the earth
caring for plants
little hands planting
preparing little beds for you to be
we will watch you grow
and one day laugh in delight
when you give us back gifts
of your surprises...................................................

~ Autumn Soul Fires ~

As the day ends
and night closes in
I light the fire and warm by your glow
burning bright with days of old
you glow so bright and warm my soul
keep my body warm
and give me hope in these dark times
of winter days ahead
an old friend you are I tell you my secrets
dreams and wishes~~
when something is troubling me
I release it into your sacred energy
fire fire burning bright
I am so glad you are here to share my days

Picture books





Circletime Songs

pumpkin, pumpkin
big and round
I`m glad you grow
upon the ground
I`m glad you don`t
grow in a tree
for then you might
fall down on me.



It`s gathering time, gathering time
time to harvest the crops
sweet corn, pumpkins, apples
time to put awy
for the cold days ahead
It`s gathering time,gathering time.

Pumpkin Painting

One starry night
a magical pumpkin appeared
and within the pumpkin
lived a very special person
THE PUMPKIN KING ~)~

( the stars are done with beeswax crayon first)
then painted over with watercolour paint
the children were so excited when they appeared.







One Autumn Day
there came some grass
and on that grass grew a
great big pumpkin
so big and round
shinning orange bright
our pumpkin ~
