Comments
Parfrey glen birds cause me to consider other animal sentients, partly because of the similarity between the words palfrey and parfrey.
Online sources confirm a connection between the two words through parfrey origins in the French word parfrement. The latter word describes the person who did horse-saddling for women riders. The 1066 conquest of Anglo-Saxon England by the northern French established palfreyman as the person in charge of palfreys (also known as colts).
Don't the above details draw one towards doing Parfrey's Glen on horseback? What a delight!
Mira, I'm glad that you noticed the bird information since Parfrey's Glen is a wonderful place for appreciating our fine-feathered friends any time of the year. Thank you for visiting, commenting, and welcoming me back to Wizzley!
Wow! I just quickly skimmed the pictures but will come back to read the article. Love that you included some bird information as well. Welcome back to Wizzley! :)
It's worth the visit because among its most charming features are what I and my siblings always called "fairy waterfalls"! Thank you for visiting and commenting.
This place looks amazing! I'd love to visit, if I'm ever in Wisconsin.
