I<\/strong>n this way we honor the fairies even when they are no longer with us having retired to their winter chambers before the first snow.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he Home Place Fairies spend all but the coldest months of winter helping tend my gardens and blueberry barrens at the farm.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>fter a long growing season they deserve their winter rest.<\/p>\n

F<\/strong>airy Folk are tiny and delicate and winters are cold here in the north country.<\/p>\n

U<\/strong>sing enchanted fairy dust left for me by the fairies last spring I am able to reduce the garments from human to fairy size.<\/p>\n

I<\/strong> wander atop Blue Fairy Hill and meander about the back meadow still enchanted with fairy glow.<\/p>\n
