MON REVE ET MA FANTAISIE

You’ve got to have a dream
If you don’t have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
~~  South Pacific 

My greatest dream along with a JILLION other people is to win the lottery!  What I would love to do if I won the lottery is start my very own SPRINKLE TRUST.  I am not sure if all would know what a sprinkle trust is so I did some research on~line to check into it.  You can learn more about SPRINKLES at http://www.thewealthcounselor.com/.  All of the winnings would be invested and the income from those investments would be “sprinkled” out to relatives, friends, loved ones, and my special charities at various times, (as long as those relatives, friends, loved ones, and special charities are signed up to follow my blog!) LOL. 

So while meditating upon my Sprinkle Trust and deciding how I would disperse all of the money, the thought dawned on me that I ALREADY have something “LIKE” a sprinkle trust” in my miraculous garden.  ~~~  Last autumn I “sprinkled”  tiny tiny seeds ~~ and then I trusted!!

Digitalis Purpurea
Some stalks were Six Feet Tall!!
Under the right conditions they will naturalize.
Foxglove seeds are even tinier than mustard seeds…..
“The foxglove tall sheds it’s loose purple bells
or in the gust,
Or when it bends beneath the upspringing lark,
Or mountain~finch alighting.”   ~~ S. T. Coleridge
Traditionally used by expert herbalists for medicinal purposes.
Digitalis is extremely poisonous and used as heart medicine to strengthen and regulate the heart.
Heart Chakra Sutras:  Peace, Harmony, Laughter, Love
Digitalis Purpurea
There must have been at least 15 dozen foxglove that grew from just the sprinkling of the seeds~~!
Foxglove grow in partial shade in a well-drained, acidic soil rich in humus.
The name FOXGLOVE comes from the myth that foxes must have used the flowers to MAGICALLY sheath their paws as they stealthily made their nocturnal raids into poultry yards.  They grew on the wooded hillside slopes that foxes chose for their dens.  Digitalis literally translates to fingers.  The foxglove flowers are the right size for you to slip your fingers into them.

I would also like to call attention to my favorite little “Puss in Boots”.  You can learn more about him at www.breteuil.fr/.  From the Fairytales of Charles Perrault (one of the ministers of the Sun King), Puss in Boots has also taken up residence in the Chateau de Breteuil.
