Springtime Lilacs; early summer Lilacs and Lupines too,  oh what a sight!

The Home Place Fairy Folk have been very busy this spring and early summer tending the lilacs and lupines as well as countless other plants here at the farm.

The fairies spent a long and very cold winter confined to their cozy chambers hidden deep within the Enchanted Forest.

After a good long slumber they awoke to a slow spring, much rain and lingering cold. The skies were often gray; flora was slow to green and because of this the fairies could not leave their chambers for more than a few minutes at a time, until much later in the season than ever before.

Being well rested from a long winters sleep they occupied their time by grinding what became an abundance of fairy dust for sprinkling on springtime flora.

Fairy Dust is enchanted of course with that extra special something that encourages each plant it is sprinkled upon to sprout, blossom and GLOW as well as grow!

The fairies happily and efficiently work together in pairs, side by side grinding precious stones and minerals, chanting and singing spells as stones turn into magical dust. Then  out into the gardens the fairy folk fly, sprinkling fairy dust as they flutter way up high and way down  low.

Their exuberance and hard work shows for the woodland, meadows and gardens here at the farm have never looked more vibrant and happy.

Thank you Home Place Fairies and all my Fairy Friends far and wide.

Remember , magic happens in EVERY garden, all one has to do is look.

On the north side of a small mountain in Maine I take care of some very beautiful gardens with the help of a small troop of Home Place Fairies.

Early each morning fairies flutter about my farm sprinkling fairy dust encouraging all sorts of plants to flourish and grow.

Today I surprised La Rosa as she was tending the woodland plants.

In the center of the Children’s Garden I found Little Lu Fairy whispering to Yellow Iris and singing to chives.

Before leaving the garden Little Lu looks in on a nest of baby wildlings.

Magic happens in every garden and if you look closely all kinds of miracles are happening, like this little ground nest of sparrow eggs. Aren’t they beautiful? Notice how Little Lu Fairy sprinkled them with protective fairy dust.

Memories of springtime in a small garden in Maine.

Through the woodland from the Enchanted Forest into the garden the fairy children go.

A garden full of wonder where fairies sing to the flowers and dance as they scatter seeds and tend rose bushes, blueberries and herbs.

Occasionally granting wishes as they sing and they play.

Fairy Tales are true stories that maybe never happened…

Serenade for a Fairy Fine Dog.

Somewhere far away on the north side of small mountain is a garden filled with all sorts of magical possibilities.

A large and very beautiful garden that lays resting beneath a covering of soft white snow…

Experience a glimpse of this wonderland… as we dream together. The best is yet to be.

Let’s herald in this New Year and usher out this old.

The view of my back meadow all covered with snow

And the grandchildren ask, “Where do the fairies go?”

“The fairies have left the meadows, the orchard, the gardens and Blue Fairy Hill for the warmth of their chambers in a Great Oak Tree.”

They fluttered through the gardens passing beneath the arbor where Arctic Hardy Kiwi grows.

Past the glass greenhouse where Paco romps in the snow.

Past the Fairy Wardrobe where mortal children dress up and play.

All is left as they left it, they will return in the spring.

Dream big

Let your imagination run free

Your potential for a creative life is as vast your desires

And as open as your mind.

Paint your world with the brightest colors you can conjure

Because Magic can truly happen,

Anywhere

The possibilities are endless.

Magic all around you

All you have to do…is look.
