Spring Is The Season For Fairy Houses!

Down the path... ...to fairy land.

Yesterday, the children and a neighborhood homeschooling friend spent several hours outdoors, including creek exploration. They discovered beautiful mosses, glistening with velvet green and sprouting! Several of the mosses found themselves relocated downstream in a fairy village.

The children LOVE creating fairy homes, often in the tangled roots of ancient oaks, mossy grasses for floors, leaves for beds, and rocks for paths and chairs... anything from nature can come back to nature in a fairy house.

If you see a fairy ring

in a field of grass,

Very lightly step around,

Tip-Toe as you pass,

Last night Fairies frolicked there

And they're sleeping somewhere near.

If you see a tiny fairy

Lying fast asleep

Shut your eyes and run away,

Do not stay to peek!

Do not tell

Or you'll break a fairy spell.
