the dream life

Fairy discovery (always good)

I had to work yesterday morning...not typically the way I like to start out a three-day weekend, but it was graduation and graduations are exciting, so I didn't mind. Afterwards, I wasn't really sure what to do with my afternoon. There were so many things that I wanted to do and the weather was luscious. We had lunch then decided to visit some garden shops.

We ended up at Louis Flower Power (the one in Jessamine County) and discovered that they've got a fairy . 

thing going on out there

They have fairies and elves and fairy houses. After my shopping blow-out in Nashville, I decided not to buy anything, but I admired everything. I fell very much in love with this garden statue and caressed her lovingly.

Then, we came home and I was inspired to work in the garden and weed and create my own fairy paradise but instead, I ended up plopping down with a good book then going for a walk and *poof* it was dark and that was that. I don't know if I'll do anything productive today or not, but the weather is still wondrous and the world feels wide open.

Fairy Day

Can you imagine anything better? There are so many ways to celebrate a fine day like this. Host a fairy tea party, throw a fairy ball, go to a fairy festival, eat some fairy bread, dig in your garden, roll around in your yard, take a hike, wear wings or fairy jewelry, try your hand at fairy photography, or listen to fairy music. Fairies love sugar, so it's always nice to leave a little treat for them. Mushrooms in your yard are a good sign that fairies have taken up residence. And don't forget to warn the fairies before you mow the grass or go tromping across the yard. They like to know so they have time to scatter. I asked Tracy to do this so he yells, "Asses and elbows, fairies, I'm coming through," when he gets the lawn mower out of the garage. I think they're fine with this. I figure fairies have a great sense of humor and that they're probably a little salty. In fact, Irish fairies will fight 'ya if they have to. You can visit this site to find out what your fairy name is. Or you can visit this place and get lost in the beauty and the magic. Getting lost in beauty and magic is always good. In honor of hour winged friends, I decided to do a reading with my Fairy deck. If you've clicked over here today, the fairies must want me to get this message to you, and I would never stand in the way of a fairy's will.
