Here is a poem in honor of the fairies, Flower Bower:
Fragranced wind blows steadily,
Sparkles of magic spin and settle to the meadow.
Fairies dance jigs when the fiddler plays
Under the shady flower bower.

Happy International Fairy Day!!

Are fairies international now? I suppose they would be, everything else is. I was convinced you just appointed the day yourself until I read the comments.
Hope your back knows what its problem is now it’s had a scan. Surely all those magnetic field fairies, dancing up and down your spine, must have been able to come up with something soothing.

Someone made it up somewhere, but it wasn’t me!! I think the wee folk want their turn. Back problems still a mystery, but I’ve been put on a no-gluten, no dairy diet. The only question is, what’s left?! I hope it works.

It does look like it, but it was not a rose at all. In fact, I’m baffled as to what it is, it was a shrub with small white flowers and oval leaves. I’ve seen a pink variant, too. No thorns. 🙂
