TipsFromtheGarden-FruitsforButterflies


TipsFromtheGarden-
FruitsforButterflies-

For today's TipsFromtheGarden I thought I would give you all some hints for Butterflies. Even though we are in the middle of fall and on the edge of winter, these posts on Saturdays are meant to bring you all into the summer time for just a little while even if its cold,raining, snowing or even 20 below outside. This way you can have a bit of sunshine in the middle of the winter and you will be ready of the coming of Spring~
You all must already know how much I love hummingbirds by now! hehehhe:o)
However, I love all birds, owls, butterflies and critters of the summer. So for today's Saturdays post we are going to learn how to bring those beautiful butterflies into your backyards and porch's for those who live in Apts like myself. 
I discovered that Butterflies have an strange taste for food compared to your average 
birds. And some individual butterflies have even more odd tastes in their food I found out. Basically it can be a little difficult to figure out what these delicate critters
like to eat. Over the many years that I have had my Garden I haven't seen that 
many of the delicate winged critters visit my garden. I always tried to find different 
flowers that say they attract butterflies, however with not much success.
I think I still will do a bit more research on this, because I am sure I just
wasn't looking at the right place.. So stay tuned!
What I did discover is that the butterfly or at least most of them / not all mind you!
don't like the nectar of the flowers for their food source. Interesting Eh!
Why? Because it is very difficult for this beauty's to get too.
If you think about it most flowers have a cup like flower - they need a flat like surface.
So when I look for flowers for the Butterflies I am going to look for the kind that 
have a very large flat surface.. So What I did discover if you would like to have these
iridescent red-spotted purple or even Monarch Butterflies in your Garden, you need to 
put out Fruits! Yes, Butterflies will seek out either fruits or the saps of trees. 
Odd! but true. To these beautiful winged fling creatures the fruit juice or the sap from the tree is much more yummy food source that that of the nectar of a flower. 
However, this gets even more interesting... What these beauty's like most Like even the 
Monarch Butterfly. Is rotten or fermented fruit mostly, but they also like [please don't get creep out] animal droppings, urine and high on their list SWEAT from humans.
Have you ever had a butterfly land on your arm or neck on a very hot summer day. Or 
Maybe when you have gone to an Butterfly Sanctuary at a zoo in your area. I know I have
and I have had many I time  beautiful butterflies land on my shoulders and neck. It was Awesome here in Seattle at our Butterfly Sanctuary at the Zoo in Seattle.
And they tickling on the skin Yes! Well it did for me and Why? well as they are walking on your arm, neck or shoulders they are dabbing at you sweat for food! Although it may feel to some like an honor to have one of these delicate critters to land on you, It seems that we
humans are nothing more that a source of sustenance! What this means to an butterfly is our sweat is a perfect food source! 
You see our winged butterfly friends need their nourishment in liquid 
form and these foods fill the bill you could say including our SWEAT!
FEEDING BUTTERFLIES~
In this part of the post I will try to explain how to set-up an feeder and tell you 
what kinds of fruits you can used for yur butterflies. 
I will also be giving you a few images to different kinds of feeders to help you 
the making of you feeders too. I discovered that When You make a feeder for butterflies it 
can be actually quite easy for any kinda home where ever you might live. You can make 
either your own or buy a variety of different kinds of butterfly feeders at your local 
store where they sell feeders for all types of birds, etc. 
Either way you decided you're almost guaranteed to see some beautiful butterflies 
visit your Garden or Porch.
MAKING YOUR TRAY OF FRUIT/OR BUYING~
As far a making the tray or if you plan on just buying the many different kinds
of butterfly commercial types of feeders there are many ways you can go about it.
I had look at the many different butterfly feeders that you could make yourself
and from what I figured out is - you need some kinda large plastic circular flat tray that is 
about 1-3inches in deep. I'm sure you can find something like this at your local store,or 
second hand store. You'll need a Electric Drill and heavy string too. 
1-Drill three hole evenly around your tray that you found. 
2-Put your heavy string through the three hole that you made.. Make sure you make
plenty of extra string at the top to hang your tray on a tree near by. 
3-Fruit - Start by offering some overripe bananas , Peel back a few strips of the skin of 
the bananas and set them on a plastic plate on your tray that you had made.
You will find that the Butterflies will find them irresistible and they will visit your 
homemade butterfly feeder in your yard for weeks until there's nothing but dry 
blackened peels of those bananas... 
An Monarch Butterfly with
very over ripen bananas

This is how your Homemade
Butterfly feeder might look like
Hanging from a tree.
Could be either 3 to 4 holes
Note: All fruit won't work! Why? because the butterflies can't pierce the skin of some
of the types of fruits. What to do? Well you just peel them, like the 
Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Melons, Pears, Peach's, Apples, and Oranges to 
be a few. And these Fruits that I have named with bring the butterflies in Droves.
These are many of the Fruits that I just named above
 However, when these fruits that you put out on your plate then on yur tray that is hanging
from a nearby tree, when these fruits get more mushier and browner they
become even better in the eyes of the Butterflies. Why? Because the natural sugars of
the fruit is even more concentrated...
When these signs of decay in either Peach's, Pears, Apples, Plums or Nectarines happen
it will show that first start of fermentation taking place.
What this means and why Butterflies love they fruit so much at this stage is that the
fruit is boosted up with all its natural sugars and the softens of the flesh of the fruit
makes it much easier for these delicate critters to sip up the juices from the fruit.
Butterflies sipping on the Juices of the fermented Fruit
Problems with Bees/Wasps and Hornets~
Finally I thought I would cover the problems that some have with
Bees/Wasps and sometimes Hornets. Its nature of course, that these critters love the 
sugar from the fruit as well. So what do do? There are a number of things you can do!
1- You might not want to put your Butterfly Feeders near a play area, paths or to close to 
your porch area's.
2-You can buy Bee/wasp/Hornet catcher/traps that do work.
3-Another thing that you might have not thought of is other animals that 
may live wild in your area such as squirrels, raccoons and possum
Finally just be safe and have Fun...
Here are a few different bought type of butterfly feeders 
for you to check-out too.
This one and all the
Feeders below are different
Kinds of butterfly Feeders
that you could find at your
local stores 









Happy Butterfly feeder time... YOUR WENDY

Wood Elves-

Wood Elves-
Wood Elf 
For today's post I am going to continue my journey in the World of the Elfin races'. Today I Sylvans I am told. These Elves are not easily found because the have learned quite well to blend into their surroundings which is the deep oak forests, which has made them almost invisible to the human eye. One reason could be, is the Wood Elves are much smaller than many of the Elfin cousin kin and they often will dress in clothes that are made of wood bark, leaves and rare living flowers. These are all used to make their very intricate patterns in their clothing that the wood elves ware. Some of them will ware furs of the animals, but these are only when they need to hunt the animals for food.
bring you the Wood Elves who are sometimes called
I discovered that these Wood Elves can speak directly to animals and understand  the animals  language too. In a seen they are Animal whispers. They are also able to communicate with all the plants, trees and flowers within their forests as well. Which brings me to the  discovery that, the Wood Elves are the most of all the Elfin race to be attuned with nature that I have come acquitted with. Also their magick is all directed with only the natural world. It seems that unlike the Wild Elves [which I have done a post. If you are interested here is the link below http://wendyjargonncom.blogspot.com/search/label/Wild%20Elves]
The wood elves  continued through ancient times to modern times to build great civilizations, however at a much smaller scale compare to the Grand Scaled Kingdoms of the eastern High Forest Elves of Eladrin. It seems that later the Wood Elves stop building their huge Nation communities after the High Forest Elves had fell.. Leaving only the Wood Elves in the deep deep Forests to continue the Elfin line...on a much smaller scale.
Wood Elf
These wood elves as I had said before were not very tall, standing on a average between 5'4" and 6"ft. And weighting between 130 pounds and 170 lbs which help them to be very agile and an athletic kin. They were also very naturally slender and slim. The wood elves have a similar range of complexions to the humans - like that of coppery or pale skinned. As for their hair types it is typically dark, either brown, black with cooper red or even blond hair is found amongst the wood elves too. It isn't unheard of to see an wood elf with hints of orange or even green hues in their hair either...  As for the Elfin eyes of the wood elves they are commonly brown, hazel or emerald green. As the history goes well it seems that the green elves who remained in isolation from the wild elves and lost their taste for civilization and nation-building of their Grand Kingdoms in ancient time became nomadic wonders of the forests. This was around the time that, for the first time that the Wood Elves Emerged on Top of their Elfin cousins when some of the Wild Elves decided to migrate into the lands of Eladrin and start their own new kingdom there. Well tale doesn't end here... So I hope you are looking for more:o) Well the
wood elves, unlike the wild elves did continued to build their huge civilizations for their people although these kingdoms were on a much smaller scale and hidden deep in the oak forests.  In the east part of the Hight Forest the wood elves founded their kingdom, but over centuries in time it to fallen. Later It seems that from what I could find where the wood elves are now - as are most the Elfin races in Faerum a Realm between our earth and theirs. So that they can still come to our world when they choose to to their very very remote hiding places
The Wood Elves in Their Kingdom
 to hide. So that is what I found about the wood elves my friends.  YOURWENDY

Bad Dream~Happy Memory's for Kai

Bad Dream~
Happy Memory's for Kai-
 2005
I wrote this because you had a bad dream at 4years old about me dear son. You were afraid that I would leave you and go to heaven. That I would die soon because of the cancer. I told you many years ago, Kai remember that I will always be there for you even when I've gone to heaven. Always just look for me in my Story's I've written about you and your favorite friend Blue Monkey, look for me in all those Scape-Photo Books I've done for you and the ones we've done together. Look for me in all those videos we did together and all the Photo albums too. Look for me in the handmade quilts I made for you when you were very young. Remember the good times in my garden playing in the dirt and helping mum dig. Remember the good time we had riding your first bike and carrying all those huge rocks back home. The time I taught you how to climb a tree, playing water guns in hot summer days, learning to drive a stick-shift and learning to drive. Think of all those good times as a child, teenager and young man and I will always be watching over you! Remember all those memories we had together and I'll be right inside your heart and soul always. So I'll never really be gone when that day comes my son. I will love you forever Your Mum. Remember your Dad will be with you if this happens. Besides I truly believe that god has a plan for me to let me see you grow-up. Both of us your Dad and I. That's why we went through all the hard times with the cancer. Which is in the pass. I will always love you son and am so proud of you too. Your Mum...

Light Elves

Light Elves-
Light Elves
For today's post I am going to continue my Journey of the Elves~ And for today we are going
to into the Norse paganism of the Light Elves which I've have discovered were very beautiful and were considered to be 'Guardian Angels' if you will. When I first went on my journey of research of the Light Elves, it was a bit difficult to find any info about these beautiful Elves that were quote called 'Gaurdian Angels'. But then again I don't give-up easy, and I did find a little info for all of you after a day of searching... In my quest of finding information on these beautiful Light Elves one thing was certain of all the place that they have Norse Paganism background and the Old Norse Mythology within their history too. This seems to be the case for their cousin kin the Dark Elves too. I found that the Light elves were said to be like minor gods of all the other Elfin kins - they were of nature and fertility and could help or hinder the humans at the time before time with their great knowledge and strong magick powers too. These Light Elves were often inspirited by their own magical music and instruments. And of their Arts too. It was said that the two different Elves in the very beginning were the Dark Elves and the Light Elves.  The Dark Elves were the most swarthy so they would live on the earth and the Light Elves were the most Godly so they would dwell in the heavens as gods. and were fairer than the sun. Now I have done many different races of the Elves and of all the different races of the the Elves you must remember these tales were written centuries ago. So the tales have been told over and over again so at some point the tales have been changed at some point I am sure of it. Over the almost 2years that I have been blogging about the Elves, Dragons, Faeries, Nymphs,
Light Elves Male 
Greek Gods/Goddess and much more I have seem different versions of the tales and this one to them. When I did the Dark Elves they had their version too of the race. So with that said ...
Of all the Elves the Light Elves in my opinion are quite rare and if they are still here in the 21th century they are well hidden. What I do know is this, they are quite beautiful with their very light skin almost glowing,however there is always the exception. These Elves are quite tall and have very long hair. It is said that they come from an realm that is just below the heavens and above the earth.  Besides the very light glowing skin, they also have a Scandinavian look with their blonde hair and blue eyes[ There is the exception to the rule.. Some of the light Elves have the brown hair and light brown eyes, but their skins is still the light as they origins realm they all came from]. These Elves are generally slim, with sharp, delicate features and pointed ears. Their home is quite magnificent palace, which no of their landspirits. Which would make since to why they were called the light elves being godly. This is also the Norwegians beliefs as well. And They look much like the Scandinvian Elves as well. As I had said in the beginning of this post, the light elves are a rare race and
Three Light Female Elves In the Palace in the
Realm between heaven and Earth
other kin has seen. I also discovered that the Norse Folklore & Scandinavian people have a  strong belief that the Light Elves actually came from an Realm between heaven and Earth called
very spiritual kin of all the Efin races.. I hope you Enjoyed this Group of Light Elves. Your Wendy

Light Elves
Elves are creatures of the light, and as such, ethereal beings that for the most part are good creatures. Being immortal, elves have a completely different worldview than humans. Everything is seen with the long view and they might well put off performing a task for a hundred or even a thousand years if it’s inconvenient at the moment.
Fancifully, elves are said to dine on honey and dew, although realistically they eat the same foods as humans. Many forest elves are vegetarians, as living so harmoniously with wild animals makes them less eager to be predators.
The bulk of the elves live in Alfheim, ruled over by the God Frey, brother of Freya. Of course, the Lady Freya is always welcome in Alfheim, and is a particular favorite amongst the elves. Naturally, some elves have chosen to live in the other realms, even Midgard with humans. However, the vast majority of elves are found in Alfheim.
There are a wide variety of elves. So-called “high elves” often stand 6 feet tall and are slender and elegant. They live in beautifully wrought cities and are both cultured and refined. Outsiders consider them cold and arrogant, but that may be due to their almost supernatural calm. These elves are incredibly beautiful, and almost entirely magical. They can perform extraordinary feats with their spells, but rarely interact with outsiders and so most of what is known of them is rumor.
Sylvans or “wood elves” live in forests. You won’t see one unless the elf wishes to be seen because they have the ability to blend into their surroundings so well that they are virtually invisible. Smaller than their cousins, these elves often dress in garments made from wood bark or leaves, and wear intricate patterns of living flowers. Sylvans can speak directly to animals and understand them, and some are said to be able to communicate with plants as well. Of all the elves, they are the most attuned with nature, and most of their magic is directed to the natural world.
Sprites, pixies, and will-o’-the-wisp’s are all variants of elves. These smaller beings can occasionally be glimpsed, but rarely are they seen up close. Still, their small magics can be quite powerful although they spend much of their time frolicking and playing rather than engaging in the more serious pursuits of the high elves.
In all their forms, elves are beautiful. In fact, many a mortal has fallen in love with an elf, although such unions rarely succeed because of the difference in lifespans. Still, elves are incredibly lovely and desirable.
On certain nights, especially under full moons, elves can be found dancing in the woods. Joining such a “fairy ring” is tempting almost beyond the power of a person to resist, but there are some dangers involved. It is said that dancing in a fairy ring can cause one to go mad, to age prematurely, to be pulled out of time, or to be stolen away by the elves. The music is virtually irresistible, and the beautiful beings are a remarkable lure. The Goddess Freya has been known to join in the dance, and the elves particularly celebrate her presence.
Despite or perhaps because of their incredibly long lifespans, elves reproduce rarely. Because of this, elven maidens will occasionally steal away human children to raise as their own. While the children are well treated, many stories are told of mothers risking much to retrieve their infants from the elves.

TipsFromtheGarden-EndoftheSummerHappyHour

TipsFromtheGarden
EndoftheSummerHappyHour

For today's TipsFromtheGarden I thought I would share some fun 
end of the summer ideas, that you could use with your last harvest of 
flowers, herbs and veggies too. All you need is to go into your gardens or
your porch pot gardens, where you might have a few herbs, eatable flowers and veggies
 For example to help you out a bit: Mint,Lavender, Sage, basil,  
Pineapple Basil, Cucumbers and Cherry Tomatoes. Now if you don't have any of these you can always get them at your local Market so you can try these Fresh Garden Cocktails~
1- Summertime Julep~
You will need lots of fresh Mint! So this one would be great one for planning to grow
a pot of Mint . Note- Mint grows very easy and vigorous too. They can be and great 
outside or inside herb plant too. You might want to add Cilantro, Chives, and Dill too in other 
pots withing your herb garden. 
These will make good for Fresh Bloody Mary Cocktails too! 
2-Summertime Cocktails not always the sweet drink~
Some drinks can be more of a refreshing drink. Like just adding a slice 
of Cucumbers to white soda and frozen limeade. 
To make these more adult like you can add flavored vodka or gin. As what 
some may call these as infusing the drink as a gin and tonic with a cucumber twist.
Cherry Tomato's can be another great fun End of the Summer Cocktail too.
First you can either go to your garden and pick-up a handful of Cherry Tomato's
or if your Garden had no more go to your local market and get them.
Well you are there pick up a basket of Strawberry's too. 
Now to mix 
With your Strawberry's and Tomato's in a mixer add ice a small bit of white 
sugar - a shot of Vodka mix. Enjoy the summer Drink 
3-Heat Drinks for the Summer~
First if you have grown some jalapenos peppers in your garden you 
need to pick quite a few. [note it just depends how hot you want your drink]
Now if you garden has finished its harvest for the summer not to worry, 
you can just go to your local market and get your jalapenos .
Now the fun begins, mixing your Heat drink 
You need to chop very finely the jalapeno first and have a good mixer 
then mix these chopped jalapenos till smooth.
You could add a favorite herb like basil, or even a fruit if you like.  
After that add your favorite booze either vodka or tequila or even
simple syrup for the non-Alcohol drinking folks 
4-Another great one- The use of Eatable Flowers~
Have you ever tried using eatable flowers in you drinks? Well this is 
what this summer drink is about ..
There are many eatable flowers that you can use you just may not have 
known which ones they were. I didn't till i did this post. 
So Eatable flowers here are a few that you can use;
Nasturtium, Marigolds, and Lavender  all three of these flowers 
look awesome in a glass.
 Floating a Marigold on the top of a blood orange Martini is Yummy.
 Scattering Lavender Petals a top a Blackberry Agua Fresca- Yummy too. 
If you want to dress-up the Blackberry Agua Fresca,
just put it in a the drink in a Champagne Glass with a hit of sweet Champagne. 
Then put a few pansies on top of the glass. Perfection.  
5-Having Fun with fruit in the winter~
And finally for that last burst of fun before the winter
STRAWBERRIES Can be used in anything from champagne to punches to 
spritzers and even those cute seedless watermelons  if you can find them still.
What you can do is just chop them in half and use them as a container for
either Margaritas, Tequila or your favorite vodkas. 
So I hope that you will come-up with your own idea's for the 
EndoftheSummerHappyHour too. To make use of those 
last herbs, flowers and veggies happy mixing...
