The Mud Faeries Adoption

Help us! We need a home.

We use to live in the woods in an old tree trunk, but someone built a condo there, and now we have nowhere to go. We use to spend our days in the woods taking care of some of the "less fine" points of nature. Unlike those frilly little girls with their fancy wings, we work in the dirt. Actually, we make the dirt, and mold, and various types of fungus and such. Maybe you've heard of Morrell Mushrooms? That's our work! But mostly, we just gather twigs & branches & dead leaves & such, pile them up, & jump up & down on them until they turn into new soil.

But where we used to live is all covered in this hard grey stuff, kind of like rock. And big, noisy machines come around & eat all the grass. There are no twigs or branches. There aren't even any trees! So now we have no place to work & the work must be done, or soon there will be no dirt!

We would also like to apolagize for our untoward appearance, as CottageFaerie made us take a bath before she would let us on her page.

As a rule, Ash usually deals with

whatever is left behind afer a

forest fire, turning pieces of burnt

wood and ashes into new soil. But

since fires are rare, he also works

with dried out things, and, on

occasion, dead stuff.

Ud's job is a little less pleasant. He

spends most of his time with the

things that are too slimey

or fould to be muck or dirt. Like

the fuzzy grey stuff that grows on

the bottom of dead logs or that

gooey stuff that runs down the

trunks of old trees.

Muck spends most of his time

down by the river, gathering up

slimey, gooey stuff and dead

things, and stomping them into

the dirt to make (you guessed it)

muck, that smelly brown stuff that

lies at the rivers edge.

~* These faeries are in desperate NEED of a place to live *~

If you have a woodpile or make a vegatable garden that's a little

over-ripe, they could sure use a hand. They need is so great in fact,

that whoever wants can adopt these guys & you need not

link back. If you want a certificate use the one below.

My GuestBook

I met a little Elfman once,

Down where the lilies blow.

I asked him why he was so small,

And why he didn't grow.

He slightly frowned, and with his eye

He looked me through and

through

"I'm just as big for me," he said,

"As you are big for you!"

I just brought my pixies home about an hour ago!

Aren't they just adorable ?!

I had just made the committment to rededicate

myself to the preservation of the "spirit" of our

way of life by receiving the award above when I

spotted these little girls.I have named the golden

haired one "Periwinkle" ~ she is going to be my

namesake. My other tiny darling, being her sister,

is name Periberry. You be good to my babies ~

and know that they have free run of the entire

meadow, so you never know when you might

see them.
