The Home Place Fairies arrived in full force this morning right as the rain tapered off. Through the kiwi arbor I caught a glimpse of them working their spring magic.
In the garlic beds they were busy sprinkling fairy dust, the beds were all a glow.I peeked inside the greenhouse and fluttering all about were fine little fairy folk happy as can be.
After surveying the gardens I walked down to the basement of the barn where my pit green house winters over rosemary, jasmine, geraniums, calla lily and tender fern and caught a glimpse of the fairy folk blessing the rosemary with remembrance while gently encouraging lemon verbena to awaken from her long winter’s dormant sleep.
Last but not least I walked through the meadow and into the woodland garden where the grand children’s fairy alter pays homage to all the Home Place Fairies and their kin and I spied one sweet little fairy all alight happily fluttering about within.

Virginia Bluebells in full ring this morning, thousands of them carpet the gardens along with forget me knots. Virginia Bluebell (mertensia virginia) perennial, zones 3-9, shade,early spring bloomer. Prolific, small bulbs divide as well as self sows then dies back and greenery disappears in the heat of summer. A cottage garden favorite of the fairies.

During daylight’s hottest hours, Home Place Fairy Folk enter the Enchanted Forest seeking shade.
After a morning of hard work tending gardens they rest, napping inside cozy chambers hidden deep within an ancient oak tree.
It is during the cooler hours of dawn and again at twilight that fairies dance into gardens, scattering fairy dust, helping plants to flourish and grow.
