Fairies

After dinner tonight, the boys & I went out in the back yard. I cut
the grass while they played with each other. They played with a giant
frisbee that I got at goodwill this afternoon. Then they played with
trucks in the dirt - there was some story going on and they had a
mission. I left two small hills in the back yard with long grass on
it. The boys decided to use them as forts or islands.

We are leaving a strip of our back garden wild to be a Fairy Realm.
Aidan asked me tonight, "What do Fairies like? How can we make them
want to come live here with us. On the spot, I came up with the
following answer: "Fairies like flowers. They like kids. They
especially like love." Aidan responded that we have lots of flowers
in the garden. And I followed that we have kids, too. Then I said
that we have lots of love too, and the Fairies can feel that." Aidan
reflected that we will probably have a lot of Fairies living here.
