Cottonwood "fairies" were flying about the backyard today and I noticed that our fairy resort is in need of some care! This is the garden under the pine trees that the kids have taken over. It's not much to look at right now but there are miniature rope/basket ziplines running from tree to tree, a sparkling blue stone river and mischievous gnomes hiding in the ground cover. When the paths are straightened and groomed, it looks much more magical. I'll try to catch a photo in a few weeks to show you when it is put back to rights.
The summer before last Kate and John and two of their friends transformed this garden into an outdoor art festival. There were paintings clipped to the ziplines, colorful clay sculptures displayed on the branches of the old pines, and hand-written stories and poems hanging from birdhouses. The girls sold tickets and refreshments while John played guitar. We should have fairy lights hung in these trees.
