My grand fairy daughters and  friends have been enjoying Lady Kathryn’s wonderful Dragon puppet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Old Horse, long ago he was enchanted by Fairies, he is the guardian of Nightingale and her sister La Rosa. He is my oldest friend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little water basin statues are scattered throughout my gardens honoring fairies, they serve as watering holes for the wee folk as well chipmunks and birds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies are worthy of being honored with statuary because they work so hard all spring and summer helping pollinators tend gardens. The smallest of them  have even been sighted riding dragon flies and fuzzy, fast bees!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you know that fairy water is enchanted with equal parts of purity, harmony and faith?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A weathered old cedar chair in a corner of the children’s garden is covered with lichen and waits for a visitor. Notice the lovely maroon Columbine in the foreground, to the right some Egyptian Walking Onions (yes! they really do walk!) but not like we do. An arbor covered with Arctic Hardy Kiwi vines offers welcome shade, it is a haven for honey bees who delight in the thousands of tiny white  flowers which will produce small tasty fruits when they ripen come the first frosts of autumn.  Purple Nepeta Catmint,  and a wild white rose are covered with cheerful butterflies and bees.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

 

 

 

 

Next time you are out in a garden look closely and if you are lucky you just might see a couple of little Home Place Fairies wandering about, like these two spotted this morning by me.  Those very tall plants in the background are Angelica archangelica.  Angelica is a majestic herb believed to possess the quality of protection. Fairies love Angelica and have scattered her seed throughout my gardens.
