Dewy Dewy Dew

Soft and new, dewy, dewy dew
Soft on the grass is the morning dew.
(a simple circle song we sing through Autumn, tiptoing rhythmically around the circle with “dewy” feet)
Today (after an early morning wash of dew on my feet, hands and face) I returned inside with a handful of daisies. Before I knew it a few had braided themselves into my hair… old habits and sweet childhood memories linger on and oddly meander into the Autumn of another hemisphere…
For last year’s may day see here

Beautiful daisies! I would love to see a picture of them braided into your hair 🙂 The girls and their 6 yr old cousin are going to be flower girls in my sil’s wedding in a couple of weeks and I’m wondering what to do with their hair – would love to do something with real flowers! Will have to look into daisies now!

Thank you for sharing the beautiful circle song! We’ll incorporate the song in one of our upcoming circle times. 🙂

No dew here… only neverending torrents of rain.

Daisies are one of my favourite flowers – so simple and yet so beautiful. I love making daisy chains in the summer 🙂
