Since placing a faerie house behind our home I’ve been anxiously awaiting a glimpse of one of the wee inhabitants. Knowing that the fae are shy by nature I figured it might be weeks, months, or even years before one appeared.
I began leaving small gifts for the faeries: buttons, bits of bread, and a thimble. Every day I checked the house, and noted that my gifts had disappeared. Of course, we have a great many squirrels who call our forest home, so I reasoned that it was they who’d taken my offerings.
So imagine my delight when, upon returning from an afternoon matinee, I spotted a tiny visitor outside the faerie house! Now, the photo isn’t terribly clear; I feared getting too close lest I frighten the faerie away. See if you can spot the tiny being.
There, a few inches to the right of the ladder, if you look carefully you might see a pair of wings.
Hopefully, now that our newest neighbors know we mean them no harm I’ll be able to get closer for more definitive photos. I’m trembling with excitement. I must get this news to the grandchildren as soon as possible.
Peace, people!
‘I do believe in fairies….I do believe in fairies….’ I can see her! Awesome! Your grandchildren will love this, Leslie. 🙂

Between you and me, I probably will get a bigger kick out of it than the grands! I’m such a believer.

I swear that to be a fairly good CGI trick, but I won’t squeal.

Ha! I promise no CGI involved. But I’m not ruling out smoke and mirrors.
