Fairy Release
Apr 7, 2008 | 7:26 AM PST

OH YEESSSSS!!! SPRING IS REALLY HERE!!! This past weekend kicked things off in a big way. The bleeding heart is up, the peonies are peaking through, the frogs are peeping, the birds are nesting, there are tiny rhubarb leaves (I can almost taste that rhubarb custard pie I'm gonna make!!!) - oh what glory!!!! Sooooo, there was nothing to do but to release the fairies - as in all the fairy figurines I put away for the winter. They simply don't like being pummeled with ice and snow (who does???) so they spend the dreary, cold months indoors. I'm sure they aren't fond of that either, but it beats being chipped and faded by Jack Frost or buried in mounds of snow.  Now, they're back in their favorite places throughout the garden overseeing the return of all their little charges.  I can tell they're happy feeling useful again.
