Good Afternoon my dears and Welcome to 

WendyTales, my time personal time with 

you all to either tell stories, my own experiences in life or 

even helpful hints from my own garden. 

So for today I thought I would tell you a 

Story about ME!

So find that cozy chair and a warm cup of coffee or tea

 and have a sit and I will give you a bit of a tale about me.

I  didn't always have health issues, there was 

a time when I felt to be a very strong woman

and could do anything; well I still feel that way to a agree.

My confidence has flew out the window in the year 2005,

but i do have a strong love and peace for my 

family,friends [AND YOU MY DEAR FRIENDS  & FOLLOWERS TOO] and

 my Husband and Son. Since that year.

Also since I meet I wonderful lady over 10-years ago,

On many Ning.sites, we have been sisters ever since. 

You all know her  as The Fairy Lady, I just know her as my

sister and dearest friend, Cynthia with love.

I found out at 45, yes I am aging myself but that is what 

this post is all about anyways, that is when I found out that

the cancer got me. The best time of my life, I had been married about,

if i can remember 8-years and my husband and I were so happy with 

our 4 year old son. Life was good for the three of us. 

And when I was walking out of that mammogram office

so long ago, knowing that I would have to tell my beloved husband 

that I had aggressive breast cancer with our 4 year old jumping around 

so happy. It was so surreal, Like walking in a tunnel in a different reality.

When I got there he knew something was wrong.

And this was the beginning of my journey that has lasted to 

the year 2015. 

i will Maybe tell more if you like 

and if I can remember and if my heart can do it .

I hope that you like my personal story. 

love you all very much

Purple Lilac

For today's Saturdays TipsFromtheGarden

I thought I would do a post on the sweet-smelling blooms

of Spring! So you would have some great fragrance coming

from your gardens in the coming months.

I know it has been a very long winter for ALL!

So with a little help of spring blooms with the

most beautiful colors and fragrance of their blooms should

help melt those winter blues away. I know I am looking 

forward to that. I have a beautiful purple Lilac

that is just beginning to bloom. I can just see its

tiny purple buds starting to come out. I can't wait to see

My Lilac if full bloom for it is a deep purple lilac and 

a Fragrant one too. When it is I will take a photo a post

it on here for you all to see.  

There are, other kinds Fragrant blooms like the honeysuckle, which

are wonderful on a warm June night. A branch of apple blossoms, 

a sprig  of lemon verbena, a carpet of chamomile and 

so many more kinds of fragrant flowers and plants that 

can tickle your senses in the coming of spring. 

I have 7 wonderful scented flowers for you all 

my dear Friends & Followers. 

They are renowned for their fragrance, for  for centuries.

All are easy to grow and everyone will add another layer

of delight to your Gardens. 

1- First Oriental lilies Zones 5-10

These huge, extravagant flowers of Oriental lilies are

showstoppers and their intoxicating scent is, so heavy

and sweet you can almost taste them.

To some, the fragrance is a bit much;

Plant in the middle or back of the bed of your garden

to dilute the strong aroma .

Just three bulbs are enough to perfume a large area. 

Pink Stargazer and White Casa Blanca re even more beautiful

 in the garden than in florist bouquets. 

Happy Gardening!

2- Dianthus Zones 3-9

The Spicy clove scent of these flowers, many have refer to as 'pinks'

actually have no sent at all. Sniff before you buy and you won't 

be disappointed. 

Bath's Pink is an old reliable with pastel pink flowers.

Mrs. Sinkins, a favorite since Victorian days, has fluffy white flowers.

These flowers are a tight mound of gray foliage. They

are appealing as the deliciously spicy scented flowers. 

 3-Heliotrope Zones 10-11 Annual elsewhere

These beauty's are grown in Europe for perfume. 

Heliotrope flower is beloved for its delicious vanilla scent,

with notes of sweet almond or cherry. It's rich purple flowers

are a real knockout; elegant white cultivars are available too.

These are beautiful blooms but don't do well until the frost 

is gone! Hence Annuals that they are.

However, you can pot them and put them in a sunny windowsill

all winter.

4-Lily-of-the-valley Zone 3 to 8

These dainty stems of dangling bells have a sweet, yet heavy

scent so unique that in France its a signature perfume 

called 'Muguet.'

Lily-of-the-Valley loves shade and it multiplies to form 

thick colonies. It can be aggressive, so plant it where it can

be contained. 

These beauty's leaves will turn golden yellow in the fall,

accented by stems of translucent red berries. Try Rosea with pale 

pink blooms as well as those with classic white flowers too.

5-Common Lilac Zones 3-7

This is one of my favorites the beauty of the lilacs that bloom in May

They come in many classic colors, deep wine red, blue-lilac,

pure white, even pink and the most popular the deep purple

that last throughout summer. 

These beautiful blooms live so long that they often survive 

even after a house  is long gone, a lilac needs no coddling 

beyond regular watering its first year. 

6-Sweet Alyssum Zones Annual

The Sweet Alyssum even though they are an annual they have,

a wonderful lemony hue to them.

They have a great warm honey scent too. These flowers are

a native Mediterranean wildflower and they can be planted either

in you garden or pots. They are a beautiful pink flower too.

7-Roses

Are wonderful to 

They work any time of the year

Well I hope that you Enjoyed my Saturday

Have a wonderful weekend

Yallery Brown Faery of England~

Yallery Brown Faery of England~

Yallery Brown Faery 

For this Evening's Post, I thought I would bring you another Faery 
from England called the Yallery Brown Faery. These faery's got their names because they are mostly a malicious faerie in England. The appearance of these Yallery Male faery's are, of the size of a year old child. They are said to be extremely ugly and wrinkly, with long hair and a beard hence that they are male faeries. According to the legend, in England lore, a farm worker by the name of Tom Tiver heard a baby's cry from beneath a large rock. Upon lifting the rock, Tom Tiver discovered the Yallery Brown Faery who was caught and tangled under this rock by his long hair and beard. As payment, for helping him as the legend goes, the Yallery Brown agreed to help Tom with his farm work. So after the farmer help untangled he Yallery Brown faery which has also been described as a goblin with long golden hair. That would also would play his evil tricks on the farmer too.

Sleeping Yallery Brown Faery

 Well the tale goes the Yallery Brown/Goblin with long golden hair and a beard agreed to help Tom Tiver with his farm work, but warned never to thank him for the help on, the farmer or it would cease. 
So every day, when Tom Tiver the Farmer would go to his farm, he would discover that his work was already done. The Farmer also discovered that the work of all the other farmers had been destroyed at the same time, so he went to his Yallery Brown and kindly thanked him for his help, but he would prefer to do his own work on his farmer from now on. Well that was the biggest mistake the

Farmer Tom Tiver could have ever done. Remember  early in the post I had told you that these Yallery Brown Faery's are   malicious fairies in England. The Faery had warned the Farmer to never,  thank him for his help or there would be trouble. This is something in which the farmer didn't know about this malicious Yallery Brown Faery's.
So instead of being dismissed, the Yallery, stayed on, causing Tom Tiver bad fortune for the rest of his years. He would also play his evil tricks on Tom Tiver and the farmers in the surrounding area's. 
These Yallery Brown Faery's would even curse the local farmers and make his work useless. You can argue both sides with these bogles, They are usually very evil, but only mean to the wrongdoers - Liars, Murderers others...  They say these Mischievous - malicious fairy - like nature spirit are from an old Lincolnshire folktale in England.
Upon finding this fairy that was trapped under a flat stone, the creature was like a ragged little man with yellow-brown skin, the colour of dark mustard and long yellow hair and a beard in some cases. In some case the creature begged to be freed from the stone others he deceived others with the cry of a baby. That is how these Faery's are able to trick humans to take pity upon them. By promising the wishes. The story goes that he grants the human farmer help with his daily chores being shy faery. So the Yallery-Brown clapped his hands and all would be done. But warned never to thanked or dire consequences would follow.
Well problems did come, people would see things happen do all by their selfs like the sweeping of the broom all by its self. So after many days people would whisper that the farmer was a witch or warlock. 
So Tom the farmer began to worry that he would be labeled and they would come after him. And that is how he became cursed by the Yallery Brown Faery.
Before the little man vanished the words that he spoke were;
'Wokk's tha will,
tha'll nivver do well,
Wokk's tha mowt,
tha'll nivver gain owt,
For harm an' mischance an 'Yallery-Bro-wun,
Tha's let out theesen form unner the sto-wun!"
English~Version
"Work as you will,
you'll never do well, 
Work as you might, 
you'll never get anything,
For harm and mischance and Yallery-Brown,
You've let out yourself from under the stone!

hope that you all Enjoyed the tale of the

Yallery Brown Faery of England

I love you all very much my dear

Ligers-

Ligers-

Beautiful Liger

Today I am going to bring you another Animal Tale On Ligers! So have a sit with your favorite coffee or tea a warm comfy chair and I will tell you all about these amazing creatures. 
The Ligers are the offspring of an male lion and a female tiger. They beautiful animals are very rare if ever seen -probably never. They never happen in the wild as the ranges of lions and tigers seldom - well really never overlap in the wild. Besides, our Lions and Tigers are all very much endangered species so the amounts of the species of both would never cross because of this fact. Liger's are primarily found and breed in Zoo's and Wild Animal Preserves. The cross-species mating has occurred in resulting in the hybrid - Liger or the less frequent Tigons. Who's, are the parents of a male tiger and a female lion, these beautiful creatures have a body forms and stripping that may vary considerably with some of the Liger like tiger looking hybrid. Then the others that look more lion, like hybrid. 
Ligers behavior~

The Ligers behavior is an mixture of the lion/tiger of course!  It would make sense, being that they are cross-species of both. However, I did discover that the tigers are most like other cats, unlike the lions. interesting Eh!  Liger love, to be in the water which is a trait of  both the tiger and lion. 
Ligers can grow to immense, size. The growth - regulating genes in lions are contributed by the female and in tigers by the male. Not having these genes, when the Ligers are about 3 to 4 years old they are usually as large as a full-grown lion or tiger. By the time these beautiful animals stop growing which is about 7years old, they have passed you're averaged  lion or tiger. The largest Ligers may be twice the size of a lions or tiger. And can get to a weight up to 900 to 1500 pounds.

An Erindale Liger and cub
from the Kat's Bane wildlife for the liger's

They can reach up to 12 feet in height when they are standing on their hind legs. The Ligers have a unusually docile disposition, but because of their enormous size, they are very dangerous and must be handled with care; even a momentary distraction could have fatal consequences.  It was for this reason that the Eriudale Liger, Kat's Bane was created. At the center, the Erindale Liger was created with a combining the dramatic coloring of a tiger with the broad nose and Baleful eyes of a lion. The image conveys the mystery and menace that would surely be attendant upon meeting such fantastic creatures in the wild.

Well, I hope you all Enjoyed the tall of the 

Ligers, I have had this story for a while, I just forgot

about it. I just love animals tales and I know 

that lots of you all my dear Friends and Followers

do too. I love you all my dears
