A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall The Poet, Writer and Artist's Corner DIY Rock Tower/Village~~Party Comin' 2

Ohhhhhhhh I almost forgot! When we were in the Mountains Mr.Bill would point out Tree Burls they have really cool shapes and us wee willys can use them for soooo many different things Like a small home, or a wash tub, or just art ,, they are seen by many humans but they don't know what they are and just knock them off trees and look and leave it,, But its' treasures to us!!! Boy Humans could sure learn a Lot from us!! I sure am glad Mr. Bill has a good eye for them ! He has them all over Cedar hill in his gardens and appreciates them just like we do ,, Here is one still on the tree!

This will continue tomarrow>>>>>>>>>>>

I love the burls Bill has in his gardens! I'm glad to know how much Willies love them and can use them!!!!

I think this one looks like some kind of strange animal trying to climb the tree but he looks a little afraid and is staying close against the tree!

Bye!! This has been great!

To Diane & all her little Gnomb friends: Have a good nights sleep--we will be waiting for tomorrows adventures----

thank you one hand and diane for making the trip come alive for me

Shirls IT looks like a beaver to me Hugging the tree while climbing up it!




Your Welcome Jiffy and if you think what you've read so far has helped make the trip come alive for you ,, There is something special that happened at the Willy Village that made all Believe






Thanks Carol Jean Are Ya ready???? This next story will Make a believer out of you!!

I think I'd better Mention HP Bear,, I'm sure you've seen him already in some of the previous Pictures,, He's a partyer who seems to have taken a fancy to Hornito's We let him stay around the Village because he's harmless not to mention the fact he can make a heck of a margarita.. Introducing HP bear (Hornitos partyer Bear)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW - he's adorable!

Annnnnnnnd Harmless too Lynne,,, That's the best part!!

OneHand Was talking of the Tree Burls, I myself had seen a few in Bill's woods also,,

The Night before I left to come home Bill hands ME a burl! Ohhhhhhhhhh Mannnnnnnn He got a big hug for that!!! :ding: Awesome! A Cedar Hill Burl!


I took the Burl in my 'carry on' on the plane,, OneHand and I looked at it. turned it over, turned it around , flipped it backwards, turn it upside down, and IF there is right side up we turned it that way too and took turns telling each what we saw
After that Onehand took a nap and left me there reflecting about my Visit ..Getting to know Bill and Cedarhill,, Being silly with Cindy and having long talks, falling in love with Shadow, Getting used to the sound of Lola's wings in flight and preparing my body as a landing strip. , Petting SmokeyJoe and loving his long soft grey fur,, And Meeting THE Wild Willys who has inspired me to get to know gnomes and quickly growing to love them and have became steadfast friends with so many .. Suddenly I had an overwhelming feeling Lite like,joyful, almost Magical, like The feeling I had In the fairy garden, and the woods, and the humming bird house or even as we pulled in the drive to Bill's house,, I declared to myself I was giving the Willy Village the Burl.

When we got home and planted things up and moved things around I told GrandPoBah the Burl was for the Village . As the Elder of the Village He was given Honor to place it where he wanted and How he wanted it viewed, Even Grand PoBah said it felt magical ,, . Gifft Willy ran over to the Burl and Presented it with a mushroom a few mintutes later and One Hand thanked him . and I place a piece of petrified wood there in Memory of the trip.

With in a half hour Gifft Willy yells for Me to come to the Burl! His voice sounded like he was in shock so I ran to see why he called my name sounding almost in disbelief




What??????? I called my Brothers to join me ,,



How did,, where did it,, How did it know , Ohhhhhhh Myyyyyyyy ..







It's a Fawn!!!!!

I told Willy we don't have deer around here ,, we just don't!! Where could it have come from??




Just as I was about to Answer Diane's Question or at least try to we heard faint chimes, Lite sounding and airy you know ,,, fairy like, and out of the corner of my eye I saw it !! So did Diane,,,,,,, we saw the dust of Fairy wings and I ran as fast as I could to catch up with it, Diane was getting her camera in focus and took a picture just in time to see the remaining dust before it faded,, She( the fairy and I'm quite sure it was a fairy ( But you humans have an explanation for everything, ) also left a heart shaped rock It wasn't there earlier , and Diane doesn't know where it came from she didn't put it there ,,nor any us Villagers,, It appeared just as the fawn did,,

Fairy Magic..... If you don't believe then look at this,




Diane Outlined the fading fairy dust ,,,,, In case you humans don't know what your looking at,,,

This is sooooooooooo awesome ,, Seeeee I told you CedarHill was magical and I believe the Burl, the rocks, some cedarHill soil, and plants, and willys brought a little Magic to GrandPraire,TX Welllllllllllll YOU explain it then ~~~~~~~~~ Can You??

Once again... BRAVO on the storytelling! I am enjoying it so much, and I love the new additions to the village! That heart rock is so special - just perfect!

My brothers were still standing there trying to come up with a name for the fawn, and also trying to figure out what to feed her!






while I was looking at the heartshaped rock the fairy left us ,, and Diane ran inside to uploadpictures,,,,,





I promise I'll get back to my visit in Cedar Hill !! But we wanted you all experience this ,,,, you wouldn't have believed us IF we had just told you about it Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm You Humans always have to have proof!!

You know you really must learn to believe in wonderous things and they will happen for you!! :wink:

Oh, the stories are just getting better and better!!
(And I saw the Fairy Dust )
Wow, you got to bring back so much magic from CH for the Village !!!
And I love the CH burl!!!
The heart rock is really cool!!! Cindy and Brennan have one, now you have a
magical one!!!

Love these stories Diane....Onehand is a pretty good story teller too!!
You have taught him well!!!!

Psssssssssst Come closer I can't say this too loud,,,


Listen....... I just want to let you all in on a secret,,, Rosewood and I over heard Miss Cindy telling Diane that she's disappointed for her because she didn't get to see any deer at CedarHill..

Sooooooooo Rosewood and I snuck out to the fairey garden and had a chat with Rachel Fairy,, This was a special fairy to Miss Cindy,, SO I knew she had to be the one we spoke too,






After I told her that Diane and two other Human friends surprised me with My 3 brothers coming to my village, and then inviting my old long time friend here Rosewood to come to Cedarhill with us on a quest to find a magical land to settledown,
I told her what we heard ,,,, and that there are No Deer in Diane's Big Village, and Diane Loves it so at CedarHill and probably was disappointed she didn't get to see any deer, but would never ever say anything ,, as it may take from the wonderful time shes had and that is something she would never dream of doing, and,,,,,,, because she is always doing little things that mean a lot to our Willy Village. and has helped us soooooooo much can we find a way for her to see a deer when she get home IF she doesn't see any before she leaves??

Rachel fairy was soooo sweet in responding saying " Humans that give their hearts to gnomes and fairys are trusted ones and rightly deserve Joyous hearts", and a little creature that is small enough for you(Me ONEhand) to take care of would be a condition should I see this to take place!! :wink: Oh Yes indeed I will take care of it Sure My Brothers and I will!!,,,


The Heart rock was the Rachel fairys own special touch and a very sweet surprise,, :ding:
I was getting a bit worried tho that Diane would Be here talking to all of you in the Coffeehouse and miss the whole thing!! But as magic would have it She was here with the camera!!


SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH this is between You and I ,, IF you tell her you will have trolls under your bed !!!

Diane you and One-hand are the best story tellers I have ever had the honor to know. And yes I believe--but even if I had not of believed I would have to now--seeing as you showed me (& all of us) the picture of the fairy dust.
besides--where else would the fawn have some from??? Bless the fairys-----

*note to One-hand* Mum's the word--I promise !!

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ............... Bill asked Diane and Cindy to go the woods with him He has a special Tree For This Human called Shirley, Shirls,Giggles, <------- Heyyy are these three who she refers to when she says Me, Myself, and I? Okay OKAY I'm still working on my jokes


Rosewood and I get stuffed in a pocket AGAIN,,, But at least I'm going with!!

You wouldn't believe alllllll the moss growing there,




It was kinda hard for us to run on it wooooooooooooooooo it was sooooooo springy

Rosewood and I was Digging these Digs!!



Bill even saw that we brought a little moss home!!


CHeck it ouuuuuuuut!!

hey wait !!! I thought Rosewood stayed behind at Cedar Hill??? Did he come home after all?? Or is he living at Cedar Hill now???

Bill even sent moss, too??!!! Cooooooool!!!!

So, Onehand, do you have to take care of the little fawn, yourself, or all of the village?!

This woods of Bill's is soooooooooo cool!




And we finally find the Tree Shirley,, Let your eyes take your imagination to Wa-la Wa-la Land Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm




It kinda Looks like a Troll

But this one really looks Like a troll,,, Uhhhhhhhh Rememeber ,,, NO tell ~~~~~~~~ No Troll under bed!







*******
I gotta jump in here...... What are you talking about Onehand??


^^^^^^^^^^^
Ohhhhhhhhh never mind Diane ,,,,,,,,,,,,,You never have to worry about Trolls

**********
oooooooooooooooooooooooooookay

(shhhh.....onehand, I forgot what we wasn't suppose to tell!)
I guess I won't find a Troll under my bed, cause I can't tell anything I can't remember

It's the last Night at Cedar Hill and we all go to Bubba's .... welllll with the exception of Rosewood,, :wink:





No sneaking into the Margarita's tonight ,, ( But I will get a sip or two of the Dreamcycle later,,, (Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh remember ,,, Troll!)


Bill and Cindy had Steak and Diane had Bbq Ribs , and I was stuffing what I could in my pockets for the plane ride home

Bubba's really does have good food,, It's a Shame I have to leave TeXas and go to Washington to get great Baked on Spicey BBQ sauce,, I'm really pickey about the flavor blend of BBq sauce and I like the sauce mopped on the meat as it's smoking and Bubba's was perfect ,, I really want a bottle of that BBQ sauce

Now Rosewood didn't get in on this last meal ,,

He stayed back at the house ( He discoverd Smokey Joes Kitty door ) and said He needed to speak with Wild Willy Privately and walk the grounds on his own to really get a feel for the magic without being distracted,,

He particulary Liked Bill Mandevilla Tree...





Which By the way was Blooming INSIDE

When we returned from Bubba's Rosewood and I had a long talk,,,,



After yearsssssss of looking and never giving up or accepting second best , Rosewood has determined that there will Never be found a more naturally magical place then CedarHill,, and what makes it even Better is the Fact the Bill is so hard working in keeping everything naturally beautiful,with everything in the right place for the right reason,, INCLUDING the fairy in the mandevilla, that Rosewood had become smitten with :ding:

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww




We say our goodbyes,, get on the plane Look at the Burl, take a nap , then watch a movie while we're passing time flying back to Dallas..

YAYYYYYYY!! Great story!!!!!

So....it was a beautiful Fairy that caused Rosewood to stay at CH!!!
How romantic!! Do you think there might be a Willy/Fairy wedding sometime in the future?

This has been like reading a bedtime story every night!!!
Thank you Diane, and thank you Onehand!!!

And with that I am going to have to go to
Catch you both tomorrow!!!

Here we are preparing to land and pulling my cap over my ears so my ears don't 'pop' ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and I couldn't wait to tell my adventures at CedarHill to everyone at the Village!!






This has been the most awesome time of My Life, and I hope I get to see Cedar Hill again and see Rosewood again!,,

Thank you kindly Bill for not asking Diane to put Rosewood and I back in her pocket at the resturant after the margarita, sausa incident ,, and especially for the Mountains and BigFOOT and your woods, and ohhhhhhhhh just everything!! I am soooooooo honored to have Met WildWilly and You,, what a story for my Great Grandkids someday ,, Huh???

Tell Rosewood I'm sooo happy he has found his place in magical nature! He's a good fella , and a true friend!! you'll be glad he's there!!

Ohhhhhhhhhh And Bill.... tell Rachel Fairy Thanks again! :wink:

Good Night Shirls Pleasent Dreams!!

The Beautiful Fairy is the twinkle in Rosewoods eye However,, the very reason for him staying initially was the magic of the land . He had searched Hi and Low and even stayed a few places that had some magic but he always felt in his heart of hearts there was somewhere waiting for him.. .. tho he has often found open land that no human had touched he could even call his own if he wanted and there was magic there too , but no where close to the expansion of magic at CedarHill as it's in every leaf ,and blade of grass, and every rain drop, and morning dew, Even the stars glissen a brilliance he had never seen before,, Yep this where he was destined to be! !

and BTW Carol Jean~~~~~~~~~ Onehand and his 3 brothers are taking care of the fawn as promised,, and her name is ..... Whimsical!!

Oh!! I love 'Whimsical' for the fawn's name!!!

that was AWSOME! im glad ya all had fun up at cedarhill! it looks soooo beauitful! n magical, special seeing it through rosewoods n one hand willys eyes

One-Hand that is good that you and your brothers are taking on the responsibility of taking care of "Whimsical"--i am sure you will all do a great job.

One-hand--be sure to keep me/us apprised of how Rosewood and the fairy are doing. :ding:

Well, I guess Onehand and Diane had to rest last night, finally, and tonight too, I guess!!!!
Hurry back, guys !!!!

onehand.....thank you for telling your story! i hope one day, to have as much fun as you and rosewood (and the humans) did!

Making my morning rounds in the yard I found onehand soooo excited to see mushrooms growing,, They don't grow here At least I haven't seen any in my yard,, untill now growing right out of the soil that was bound to the NewZealand Sage Grass and Moss Bill sent home with me!!



Tho they aren't as big and magnificent as those in Washington, They are real and they are growing and Gifft and Onehand couldn't be happier to start this sunday morning out with!



could this be a touch of magic from Cedarhill??

oh i am sure of it! onehand....if you see the mushrooms come up in a circle, look closely because it will be a FAIRY RING, they will be dancing in it. but, be sure they don't see you!

WoW!!!! Just a little bit of moss and grass from CH and magic happens!!!!
How cool is that?!! Onehand LOOKS like he is amazed and enjoying them!!!
