What a beautiful day this was! I spent most of it playing in the fairy garden. What fun! First I removed the covering of leaves and twigs that had blown in to see what perennials were there. The pink sweet woodruff has really spread, from a tiny start given to be by a friend two years ago. The primroses look lovely. The miniature chives, "Pixie" Dianthus, miniature coral bells, miniature hostas, miniature betony, etc. all look great. I added a new "Pygmy" Penstemon and a "Gold Elf" Spirea, lots of violas, sweet alyssum and a new twig fence (since I had to pick up all those twigs, might as well put them to use!) Then I added 3 fairy houses from the new collection I ordered from an artist in Canada. Put in some stone paths, fairy furniture, fairies, our painted slates, and MAGIC!
