Brass Dragon

Brass Dragon-

A Brass Dragon High Up on a
Rock in the High Desert

For today's post I am going to bring you to the Sandy desert regions of the Brass dragons. Yes for my Love for the Dragon! I give you the Brass Dragon! These Dragons love the Sandy desert regions much like that of the Yellow Dragons which I have done a post on them too. These Dragons crave the sunlight and dry heat, so naturally the desert would be their prefer place to live. These Brass dragons like to make their lairs in the high rocky caves in the hot Savannah's and other similar areas of the deserts. They will also make their lairs in very steep mountains that are in the deserts of the face of canyon walls preferably, so they can enjoy the morning sun. This way they don't have to go to far to enjoy the sunny bathe which these brass dragons do love their sunny. And the morning sun is their favorite. The way that these Brass dragons have place their lairs on the steep canyons walls of the hot Savannah's it is very is for them to spot an intruder. These dragons love to spend hours lying on the rocks hidden high up on the rock sunning themselves. I also discovered that the Brass dragon will live in places that have a seasonal conditions like that of a temperate forest that sees very little or any rainfall in the summertime. These Desert lovers will also reside in sllch lands either to migrate to a warmer climate or to retreat to subterranean lairs during the cool and rainy months of the year. As far as the Brass dragons scales, at birth they have a dull, motted brown look at birth. As they get a bit older, their scales will become more brassy until they reach a warm, burnished look. As they get into the more hundred age years a more brassy and luster look. These dragons have a faint acrid odor reminiscent of hot oiled metal to them. There is also a prominent head crest that is in the shape of a plowshare that distinguishes the Brass dragons his cousin

dragons. They are quite large in size up to 30 feet in length. Very Intelligent too. The one thing that I found that is different about the Brass dragon to most of the dragon is their placid curiosity and the fact that these dragons are the most talkative of all the dragons I have written so far... It seems that they are slow to anger too; which is odd for a dragon is some ways. Even in battle the brass dragons are rarely cruel or even vengeful. In fact they frequently will allow beaten enemies to retreat instead of either killing or eating. However, these dragons are still dragon! so they are still conceited, proud, touchy creatures. Like other dragons, the Brass Dragons will take offense at rude or disrespectful behavior. But since these dragons love to TALK! if an other dragon might lash out in anger, the brass dragon would probably just break of the conversation and just leave. But you must remember he/she is a dragon so if one persisted well you know what I mean! And they never take sides that always say For Me! And maybe put their cone breathe sleeping gas on them. They also have a billowing cloud of gas that causes fear and of course Fire breathe too. Since the Brass dragon lives in a area which is mostly without or no water, they can survive with almost no water. They typically hunt with their wings over the high cliffs canyons of the deserts. These dragons are quite different I found when it came to their treasure; true they love precious gems but they are very fond of bone, stones too.Odd Eh! Finally I found that the Brass Dragons seemed to have many Friends~ with that of Sphinxes; Wizards; Elves and other dragons but the Brown dragons. I found the brass dragon to be an mostly friendly and kind dragon. I hope you all Enjoyed my Post on the Brass Dragon ..
I love you all my dear Readers, Friends and Followers have a great Sunday Wendy...[here is a link to my Yellow dragon post so you can see the differences if you would like to.wendyjargonncom.blogspot.com/search/label/YELLOW%20DRAGONS- ]

Tips From the Garden~ THE RED CARDINALS-

Tips From the Garden~

THE RED CARDINALS-

Red Cardinal

In this post for Tips From the Garden~ I have found a most beautiful bird that will brighten your

winter blues for the up coming fall/winter. They are the stunning Red Northern Cardinals Birds.

These amazing bright red birds seem to always take away those winter blues and make your winter a much more warmer and brighter one; Plus they will make your porch or backyards much more livelier.

If your are lucky enough to live in the areas of the Red Cardinals territory its really not difficult to lure these beauties to your Hollies Trees/Shrubs. Some of the best Hollies would be the Winterberry which show the deciduous bright red berries throughout the winter for these beautiful Cardinals and they will stay in yur yard for the entire winter feeding on these different juicy red berries for your bird watching delight. In some of my other Tips from the Garden you will find other kinds of Hollies that I have put in my blog for you too.

Red Cardinals with the Red berries
in the winter

There are a few tips from the National Wildlife that will also help you during the winter months in helping the wildlife birds that will come to your yards and porches too. I hope that this tips I give you will help your for you gardens for the up coming fall and winter. These tips that I am going to give you involve the three key elements of Food/water/and shelter for your Red Cardinals that will visit your Gardens this winter. When doing a bit of research on these beauty's you might be surprised on hope diverse they are on their eating habits. Basically these birds will eat more than a hundred different types of seeds and fruits including any

Feeders that you might put out for them too.

If you want to put Feeders I found out what kind of seed the Red Cardinals eat and how to make a

Feeder for these beauties too. First the seeds. These could be sunflower seeds; safflower seeds; cracked corn or even cut-up apples! How where and How to place these tasty treats for your new friends? I found out there are quite a few ways to place these treats for your Red Cardinals to find you tasty treats. One way is to put them on a sturdy platform or hopper feeder near your Hollie Trees and Shrubs. This way the Cardinals can find them very easily. And of course the Holly Trees & Shrubs like the Winterberry are great too for your Red Cardinals because they will bare fruit the entire winter. Another item that I didn't think of but I discover for you

all in my Garden tips is water in the winter. It seems that the Red Cardinals use water on a daily basis for drinking and get this! BATHING IN THE WINTER! So I had to think about this one for you all my dears,

How do you keep water for your bird friend without it Freezing! The only thing that I did find which

I very much doubt that most folks would be able or world consider doing is maintaining a heated

birdbath. I thought that was kinda funny myself. An heating pad under a bird bathe in the dead of winter while its snowing and about oh! here it can get about lows 10'degrees but, in the upper northern area's were talking -20' 30 and I just don't see too many folks using a heating pad, but there is always the exception.

Finally for your tips of the Garden on the Red Cardinals I discovered that the birds prefer thickets and the

evergreens for roosting in the winter. So if you have this type of tree or shrub in your area or if your

thinking of getting a new wintery type shrub/tree one of these just might be the one for this Year!

When you do, you'll want to place it nearby a feeder if you have made one. It will make your Red Cardinals feel much more safe and comfortable in there new home. Well I hope that you all will find a few helpful

tips for your gardens and yards even though the summer is coming to an end. I will still have Tips for the Garden Every Saturday for you.. It will be something different every saturday. What ever I might think of. I myself am thinking of getting a holly too. I will let you all know if I actually do.

Untill next time I hope I have given you some helpful tips and Happy Gardening

The link below is from my blog, it show all the Zones so that you can see what area's your

plants grow best. Love you all my dears, readers, friends and followers. I hope you have a great weekend

Vikings-

The Vikings (Jarl)

For today's post I am going to bring you back to the days of the Vikings. As I began to read about the Viking I found many different tales of their beginnings - One tale that I hadn't heard of that you might find interesting, I will call; 'Gods & the Vikings'. You may wonder why I call this part Gods & the Vikings? well it seems that in numerous parts of Norse Mythology the plight of the Gods and their interaction with various other beings is why it is called 'God and the Vikings.' It seems that the most popular of all the Gods, among the Scandinavians Gods during the Vikings Age was Thor, who is portrayed as a unrelentingly perusing his foes, with his mountain crushing thunderous hammerMjolnir in hand. There were various other Gods and Goddess that were mentioned too but, not so much as Thor. It even seems that the Elves and dwarfs were commonly mentioned too. And had some connection with the Vikings. As I read more - research more on the vikings, I found that they happened to be the first people to inhabit Norway as hunters living in small settlements on the edge of the shoreline where they cold kept and eye on their ships. Gradually it seemed that

Scandinavians Gods Thor
During the Viking Age

between the years 1500 and 500BC, the Norwegians/Vikings also started to practice agriculture and farming too. Then around the year 800AD, they started to take to their ships in search of their own land. What they found was an huge area that lies between Norway and Sweden. So during this period with other groups of Vikings from other regions of the Scandinavian peninsula which was in Sweden & Denmark/ these Norwegian Vikings sailed westward to conquer new land. In doing so they invaded and settled in Ireland, Scotland, England and some area's of France too. They even settled in some parts of the uninhabited lands of Greenland. The more I rad the more I discovered about the life of the Viking. There was a period called the Viking Age! In this period it talks of the earliest recorded raids that the Vikings had. I found that in the year 790AD there were actually recorded records of an Viking by the name of Norman who took England in the year 1066AD which was commonly known then as the Viking Age of the Scandinavian History. It seems

that all the Vikings at the time use the Norwegian Sea and the Baltic Sea for their routes to the South to conquer land.in the South. The Normans - I found to be the original Vikings Descends from Norman who had took all of England in the Year 1066AD and his descends have since then have founded his path. His

The Vikings

Descended were given feudal over lordship of areas in northern France the Dutchery of Normandy in the 10th century. It seems that all the Vikings/Norwegians expanded their conquest of land to the north and to the west such as Ireland, Scotland, Greenland, the Danes to England and even in area's of France. They End-up setting in the Danelaw which is northern/eastern of England & Normandy and the Swedes of the East, which they found is to be the Kievan Rus. (The original Russia). It seems that when the Viking age came to an End, they had separated their kingdoms that were acquired over many countries when the Christan's took over most of the lands. Thus ending the Viking age. I thought before I finish my tale of the Vikings I would tell you a bit about their Culture~
First of all I should say that there was a strong misunderstanding between the Culture/lifestyle and their Religion beliefs between the Christan's and the Scandinavians/Norwegians the Vikings. This of course was regarding to the way of life and their paganism beliefs; which is still very much misunderstood even today.

Vikings in their Grand Ships

Unfortunately it was this that brought the end and a few other possibilities to the Viking Age. From what I could find it seems that it came to head dramatically in June of 793AD. It was when the Norwegians/Vikings destroyed the Abbey Holy Church on the Island of Landsteiner or Lindisfarne. When this happened it seemed the Vikings were seen in a whole different light. The shock of the Holy abbey being destroyed had alerted the Royal Courts of all Europe. "Never before has such a atrocity been seen." This act on the Lindisfarne Holy Abbey had plague the Vikings for the next 12 centuries and beyond~ It seems that in my readings and research that the Vikings as a people have always had to fight hard for what is theirs and for their people. I must say form doing this post on the Norwegians they are survivors and to me that puts them high in my Book! These folks could read a language that was parallel with Latin. And Latin isn't an easy language to learn. So in my book they were a very intelligent people. The Viking ships were also a major part of their culture. They would use their ships to transport everything from; Trade, Exploration of new

High raking Vikings being prepared for
buried at sea

lands, raids, Conquests, Transportation's across the seas and waterways too. These ships were also made for warfare; with their long narrow hulls/shallow allowed them to sneak into the shoreline for landings. Also it was easy for trooping the men with the oars in the shallow waters onto the shore. Religion was of great importance to the Vikings as well. Being that of a pagan Culture. It seems that It was a high honor to be buried at sea on one of their most beautiful crafted ships. As far as their Religion I hope at some point to explore more on the Pagan culture at a later date. Social Structure- This is something I didn't know. The Vikings had different social Cultures and the one who started it all was their Father of all the Viking known as Heimdallr the creator of their social classics. There were First the Thralls; which were the

lowest ranking class/ the slaves of the vikings. Even the Viking had their own class of slavery too. And to them it was an vital importance to their everyday living. For the Thralls would do all the daily chores & large scale construction. They were also a major part of their Trade and their economy too. New Thralls were often captured abroad. The next Class was called the Karls, these vikings were considered free peasants.

They owned their own farms, land cattle and also engaged in the daily chores of ploughing fields, milking the cattle, building the houses, wagons for the horses too. The Karls would actually would employ thralls to help them with their farms, land the cattle and ploughing fields. Finally the last class of the Vikings is the Jarls.

This might have been a Jarl

These were the aristocracy of the Viking Society. They are the ones who were very wealthy and owned the largest estates and huge longhouses that were probably were build by the Thralls. They have many horse land and many thralls (Slaves as they would call them in the age of the Vikings) The thralls would take care of all the Jarls daily chores, while the Jarls engaged in the communities polities, hunting, shipping of the long ships, trade goods, and paid visits abroad on expeditions for the entire community while the Thralls & Karls Vikings would take care of the homestead. I found in some of the traditions of the Vikings, they were very similar to that of the Egyptians. These was of the upper class Jarls Vikings of course. I found that when an High ranking Jarl would died all of his Thrall's (this slaves probably even family's too) were sacrificially killed and buried next to the high ranking Jarl Viking with a probably very public burial of the entree community watching. Of course this is just my opinion ant thoughts. Lastly I thought I would talk a bit about the appearance of the Vikings. I sure that the Vikings have been depicted many different ways over the centuries. And of course in the many different Movie/TV shows too. I thought I would try to give you a more in dept look at that or the best that I could anyway...Now that you know the three different Viking Classes 1-Thralls 2-Karls 3-Jarls Each of these classes were very easily recognisable by the way they looked in their cultural class and what they wore too. It seems that the men and women of the Jarls were very well groomed with neat hairstyles and their type of clothing was often silks and

Could have been a Karl Waring leather

fine furs, with handcrafted jewellery brooches belt buckles, necklaces with arm rings. All was unique Norse Art YOU WOULD NEVER SEE RING FOR FINGERS OR EARRINGS. Most of the fur that they would ware is that of Fox, Bear, Otters and Beaver. As far as the wool and who would make it into their fine clothing it would mostly be the thralls or Karls they were very skilled spinner and weavers and very good with Down (feathers of their bedding). Other Trade is that of Walrus ivory, wax, Salt, cod and lastly soapstone. Their most highly one was the stone Amber. Well my dears, Readers, Friends, and Followers

I hope you all enjoyed my post on the Vikings I spend a bit of time on this one that is why I havent' been on the blog for a bit and I have had a few bad days. It happens it is what is is as my mother says. I life day to day. And if you read my profile You will understand me a little more why. I love you all so very
