THE ELVES ARE BACK!!
Huckleberry & Peppermint arrived, right before the Mister and I went for our December the 1st sleep.
The Elves made it through the Covid-19 Pandemic, British Columbia's Heat Domes, the massive wild fires with thick smoke, Evacuation warnings, Air Quality alerts and all too soon, some actual Evacuations from the Fire Zones.
Thankfully, the Elves avoided Protestors, Rioters, and mean people who were rebel rousing & making a mess, being big bullies.
Atmospheric Rivers brought in dramatic flooding, mud & rock slides, major highway closures, loss of all kinds of wildlife, (sadly and some human), food and essential item chain supply disruptions . . .
And then the Elves softly landed in Salmon Arm, onto Huckleberry Hill, looking for peace & quiet, love & fun.
They floated in on what seemed to be a small pair of brightly coloured parachutes- I was told these were late, brilliant yellow and black Swallow Butterflies, who were following a flock of giant White Swans, who were confused by the warm weather and were flying in the wrong direction!
That's Ok! I'm just happy everyone arrived safely, before Hannukah and Christmas time.
The Elves made an special effort to get here because they "heard on the Wind", that Bernie (Deedo) and Shelley (Babcia) were setting up their Winter Wonderland Christmas Village this year, (after a few years of not doing it), for the Little People and some Christmas enchantment.
Huckleberry & Peppermint are filled with mischievous spirit, they are safely covid-vaccinated, healthy and they fully intend on whipping the the Gnomes into a frenzy. Haha. What they don't realize is: Gnomes are calm and sensible. They won't be tearing the house apart; they are here to help with the House chores, cleaning & decorating.
