Welcome to our Fairy Forest

Scurry under here and come see what we found in our back yard . . .
I have sweet memories of spending many quiet moments in my childhood looking at and appreciating lichen, moss and other odd little plants. I am always happy to be reminded of the benefits of children spending time in nature. When we find magic spots like this I don't need to intellectualize why or how it is good for them. I just know it.

Ohh . . . look out for the monster root tree!
We do have to walk right past this root creature to go under the log and into the secret moss garden. It really adds to the fun.

The view from our front door on the night we moved in. We have found a really lovely place to live. Perched on a hill with sunny mornings and a beautiful view. It has really taken me way too long to come back to my lovely little blog. Our cross country move was very intense and it took our family a long time to come back to any sort of stability.  Oh, and we have satellite internet, its slow. It took me 4 minutes to upload this picture. In fact we had no internet service for about 6 weeks. I read  ALOT more, it was lovely.

stay tuned . . .
