If I were a fairy, I would live in a big oak tree.

I would have a slate patio to have parties on.

I would have a garden full of tiny flowers like…

Epimedium

Jessop

Little Lantern Columbine

Fire Spinner Delosperma

Salvia nemorosa, ‘New Dimension Rose’

Sagina subulata, Irish moss

Wild ferns

with moss and lichens and lovely rocks for my friends to sit on.

I would have an urn full of Lily of the valley and violet blooms.

I would leave out a basket of treasures for children to find.

I would have a bowl full of cool water for my tiny, thirsty friends.

I would have a whirly-gig with the colors of the rainbow to spin in the breeze.

I would have a gazing ball with the colors of the Earth, so I could dream of all the places I have not been…yet.

If I were a fairy, I’d live here.

Wouldn’t you?
