Grazing is a concern, as well as maintenance of the county road and weed control. <br /><br />It is an annual species, completing it's life cycle in one year. It flowers from June through August, and sets seed in July to August.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Magical Properties</span><br /><br />Master Herbologist Witches and Wizards are trying to cultivate this special clover in large meadows. Various portions of the plant are used for phoenix birds. As rare as the phoenix bird is, that is how rare you will find this owl-clover. Most of the mysterious uses of this plant are kept in strict confidence by master herbologists and phoenix owners, and therefore little is in print. Apprentice herbologists, when going for their degree as a master herbologist, learn these properties and are sworn to the secrecy.<br /><br /></div><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td width="49%" height="21"><br /></td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"><br /></td><td width="29%" height="21"><br /></td> <td width="22%" height="21"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411758238018286460.post-69474050786874174522011-07-16T09:52:00.000-07:002011-07-16T09:59:16.255-07:00HLBOE - Colin Creevey Challenge #1 (6th Term)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrsmQf2OE2zXa0O4f7U5lpQEDwC7GnFx0K6yLZx6g82ZxBsXEAUnU0ulfGGwTmkxOL46VUBUt4E0WRhltjeb2SdnlSAKBybH-X_RHxDTqu08e9gvOcHP5Kl3GCX0OM3doL_AMVw83zWNjP/s1600/CCC+%25231.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrsmQf2OE2zXa0O4f7U5lpQEDwC7GnFx0K6yLZx6g82ZxBsXEAUnU0ulfGGwTmkxOL46VUBUt4E0WRhltjeb2SdnlSAKBybH-X_RHxDTqu08e9gvOcHP5Kl3GCX0OM3doL_AMVw83zWNjP/s400/CCC+%25231.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5629995013875513682" border="0" /></a>1.

They were unable to find any cows, so set about trying to tip sheep instead!<br /><br />The Weasleys were apparently misinformed about the spell to be used. Sadly, a sheep, frog, mermaid, and dragon subsequently were disastrously changed in and adverse way.<br /><br />My package included a wee black felted zippered notions bag, a frog pen, and a severely reducioed mermaid and dragon. I have been working diligently since Arthur's post to try and return all objects to their former selves. I have minions in the office working on a spell to bring the dragon and mermaid back to size, but it seems the sheep and frog are forever deemed to be a zippered bag and pen. Both the mermaid and dragon have been informed they will have a home in our green belt if they so desire when returned to their normal selves. In the meantime, my daughter has decided to try and learn mermish and my youngest son is taking the opportunity to study the dragon in depth.<br /><br />Oh, and Arthur, if you read this, I have your scarf! Our owl, Fle, shall return said scarf as soon as our horrendous weather improves. In the meantime, as it is also reducioed, I hope you don't mind if we let the dragon use it to keep warm until he returns to full size. I offered the wonderful Gryffindor sock to the mermaid should she decide she wants to sleep in a cozy manner vice a small bowl of water.<br /><br />Thank you, Arthur, for the wonderful tea.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas ...‘Twas the night before Christmas and all around me<br />Was unfinished knitting not under the tree.<br />The stockings weren’t hung by the chimney with care<br />‘cause the heels and the toes had not a stitch there. <p>The children were nestled all snug in their beds<br />but I had not finished the caps for their heads.<br />Dad was asleep; he was no help at all,<br />And the sweater for him was six inches too small.</p> <p>When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<br />I put down my needles to see what was the matter.<br />Away to the window, I flew like a flash,<br />Tripped over my yarn and fell down with a crash.</p> <p>The tangle of yarn that lay deep as the snow<br />Reminded me how much I still had to go.<br />Out on my lawn, I heard such a noise,<br />I thought it would wake both dad and the boys.</p> <p>And though I was tired, my brain was a bit thick,<br />I knew in a moment, it must be Saint Nick.<br />But what I heard then left me perplexed-ed,<br />For not a name I heard was what I had expected</p> <p>“move, Ashford; move, Lopi; move, Addie and Clover Move, Reynolds;<br />move, Starmore; move, Fraylic--move over”<br />“Paton, don’t circle round; stand in line.<br />Come now, you sheep wool work just fine!<br />I know this is hard semi, it’s just your first year,<br />I’d hate to go back to eight tiny reindeer.”</p> <p>I peered over the sill; what I saw was amazing,<br />Eight woolly sheep on my lawn all a’grazing.<br />And then, in a twinkle, I heard at the door<br />Santa’s feet coming across the porch floor.</p> <p>I rose from my knees and got back on my feet,<br />And as I turned round, Saint Nick, I did meet.<br />He was dressed all in wool from his head to his toe<br />And his clothes were handknit from above to below.</p> <p>A bright Fair Isle sweater he wore on his back,<br />and his toys were all stuffed in an Aran knit sack.<br />His cap was a wonder of bobbles and lace,<br />A beautiful frame for his rosy red face.</p> <p>The scarf round his neck could have stretched for a mile,<br />And the socks peeking over his boots were Argyle.<br />The back of his mittens bore an intricate cable,<br />And suddenly on one I spied a small label.</p> <p>SC was duplicate stitched on the cuff,<br />and I asked “Hey Nick, did you knit all this stuff?”<br />He proudly replied “Ho-ho-ho, yes I did, I learned how to knit when I was a kid.”</p> <p>He was chubby and plump, a quite well-dressed old man,<br />And I laughed to myself for I’d thought up a plan,.<br />I flashed him a grin and jumped up in the air,<br />And the next thing he knew he was tied to a chair.</p> <p>He spoke not a word, but looked in his lap<br />Where I’d laid my needles and yarn for a cap.<br />He quickly began knitting, first one cap then two;<br />For the first time I thought I’d really get through.</p> <p>He put heels on the stockings and toes in some socks<br />While I sat back drinking Scotch on the rocks!!<br />So quickly like magic, his needles they flew,<br />That he was all finished by quarter to two.<br />He sprang for his sleigh when I let him go free,<br />And over his shoulder he looked back at me.<br />And I heard him exclaim as he sailed past the moon<br />“Next year start your knitting sometime around June!”</p> <p>Author unknown</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411758238018286460.post-24023158430087342902010-11-29T15:23:00.000-08:002010-11-29T15:26:19.576-08:00Galway Scarf KAL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgztQ9xsLJ-W8HG1LFFe5GKT6c_eNcMjQhRUBZGnFl76ysUsPFmc6ifRpm5iZ6ZAONqAgY17xYzDSkgOyhRBKSwBiwkXo6FmYIcWBv9uTYNmTGEfM4xb5jl1QLlioRE7mnO6vF5GVOIfwb-/s1600/Galway+Scarf+for+Jo.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgztQ9xsLJ-W8HG1LFFe5GKT6c_eNcMjQhRUBZGnFl76ysUsPFmc6ifRpm5iZ6ZAONqAgY17xYzDSkgOyhRBKSwBiwkXo6FmYIcWBv9uTYNmTGEfM4xb5jl1QLlioRE7mnO6vF5GVOIfwb-/s320/Galway+Scarf+for+Jo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545116910123300610" border="0" /></a>Finished.

completed the test knit of the item I'm going to send to Lavender. Sadly, I'm still not allowed to show a photo or put it on my project page. I await the okay from the designer.<br /><br />In the meantime I found out my poor son, Gryphon, has had to do a 180 change on his kit because the person he was spoiling is no longer a part of HSKS and he has a new spoilee. We've been working together to try and figure out what to do for Fuddles. It's really tough, because she has very little info on her Rav ID page! He did find out he can return the yarn he purchased, and we'll be making a trip to the other store to return all the other items he had already purchased for the previous kit. I'm very thankful he's able to return the items. It is an experience for this young man, as he's never had to purchase things, save receipts, and then return items before. Life lessons! The only item he can't return was the "treat" he'd purchased. He's decided to save it for himself, unless Fuddles likes seasonal holiday sweets!<br /><br />To top off that hectic news from yesterday, my daughter decided to try and step over the baby gate on the stairs. It is not fixed to the wall, it's just propped there to keep DH's dog from going where she doesn't belong. At any rate, my daughter slipped, fell down the stairs, and crashed her ankle on the tile floor below. Of course, I wasn't home! By the time I got home I'd made the decision to take her to Urgent Care, because the doctor's office wouldn't see her. I was very disappointed with the medical care she received because the doctor, not once, sat down, looked at her ankle, or even touched it. She was x-rayed and then a fiberglass splint put on. She'll be splinted for about a week. We see her regular doctor next week. The doctor said she had an abnormality on her film, but wasn't sure if it was her normal ankle or if she had chipped it. This is important, because she's a dancer. So, we wait to see what the regular doctor says. Muggles! Go figure! Wish we could have taken her to Saint Mungo's!<br /><br />And all the menfolk are off for the weekend to wallow in rain and cold on a camping trip. Yuck! Not me! I'd rather stay warm and dry. But, this is a scout activity and one needed for our youngest, who is a Webelos going for Boy Scout next February. Plus, the boys needs more camping for further advancement and badges. DH is going along because he's the Webelos II leader. Looks like it's just the girls this weekend. Although, I have to admit, it won't be too exciting. My daughter is getting her eyes examined and I'm afraid we'll be coming home with glasses for her. Poor thing.<br /><br />And that is our week in review. <br /><br />Back to knitting socks!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411758238018286460.post-83490021351588556262010-10-15T13:49:00.000-07:002010-10-15T14:24:27.832-07:00Reducio 12 - My kit has arrived!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMds7ge0IrRELeFTo5YF7ouWG-ef6H8LRr-hFMY6-NCpif9_9lI56FYFT5bFS835Myp-xTYhA1ZtGbBuDQ1Gv2u5xPAxSjvoOhO21YMmBoVsDujlGXug-tdas6lmvxK2Nq6VZXFnvIemaJ/s1600/Reduc+12+Hogwarts+Teach.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMds7ge0IrRELeFTo5YF7ouWG-ef6H8LRr-hFMY6-NCpif9_9lI56FYFT5bFS835Myp-xTYhA1ZtGbBuDQ1Gv2u5xPAxSjvoOhO21YMmBoVsDujlGXug-tdas6lmvxK2Nq6VZXFnvIemaJ/s320/Reduc+12+Hogwarts+Teach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528379044606789458" border="0" /></a>My kit arrived from Gabrielle Rozier (bijou3owl).

Ron also took a blackthorn wand from one of the first set of Snatchers and gave it to Harry (DH19, 23).</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7411758238018286460.post-69886632559422347782010-10-11T16:10:00.000-07:002010-10-11T16:14:36.854-07:00Quandary<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);">I still remain in a quandary over my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">spoilee's</span> kit. I don't think I've ever been so stumped as I am on this particular round. I have had no hits of inspiration whatsoever and it's getting me down. I knew I was going to have trouble with this particular theme, I just didn't know how much.<br /><br />I have made two different items and purchased the yarn for the kit. Had to change patterns midstream, though. Frustrating. <br /><br />I walk around and around knowing I need to do something else for this kit, but it's kicking me in the butt! I just don't want it to come back to haunt me before it's time to send it out. I have SO many things to make right now for Christmas, but this is the one thing from which my mind cannot let go. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hrumph</span>. I'm in a pickle and a funk.<br /><br />Time to shake it off. Wish chocolate wasn't so caloric!<br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
