When I was a child, we called milkweed seeds, floating through the air, "fairies."
If you gently caught one, you could make a wish
before setting it free to float away again.
As far as I know, there is no age limit on this.
Go forth and make wishes.

Pretty. It's finally winter here so I am able to get out and about and enjoy all the nature has to offer. Even the weeds. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great photo. I can feel the softness. I don't think we have any around here - but that brings back some good childhood memories. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that. Fairies. Love the photo too. I've been a homebody lately, except for storytelling. Trying to chase the dust bunnies out of here! Maybe they're cousins to the milkweed fairies?
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. I can feel the softness of the fairies. We don't have milkweed up at our elevation but it is a little bit lower. I'll try to catch one next year!
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely no age limit! And think of it this way, you're also blessing the monarch butterflies.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of milkweed "fairies" - but I love that idea :) I'll have to share with my daughter
