Dear Readers -

All that talk of summer which had lead to faeries... well, it got me to thinking about how they are the epitome of summer.
                        Mischief.
                                                     Frolicking.
                                                                                 Sparkling lights.
                                                                                                                            Bonfires.
                                                                                                   Luminescence.
                                       Practical jokes.
     Honeyed wine.
                                                                                     Delight.
                                                                                                                                         
                        Flowers.

In hindsight, it also brought up memories of the pianist/composer, Gary Stadler, whom I discovered when I was very, very young. I fell in love with his music. It was ethereal. It was new. It was fun. It sounded like those summer nights that I would hunt for faeries. So, for those who have not heard his work, I introduce you.

Because it's fun and everyone should remember their inner-faery-hunting child.

It's never too late to stop growing up.
