On a very hot and humid day our walk took us back to Meadowlark Gardens. Reminder: no more hot and humid walks until it gets several degrees cooler. For some reason, it took us by surprise. We have been to this garden many times and if you ever wanted to weave through them all bit by bit, you will find them at this link.
The Fairy Garden has always been a favorite and is just outside the visitor center's garden entrance. It is generally my first stop as I am always interested to see what changes have been made. This is the first time I have visited since it has been set up for the year. I usually tell Gregg that he can walk on ahead of me and I will catch up. I spend several minutes as my inner child and I have fun looking and taking photos. Then I walk on to find Gregg who hasn't wondered too far down the hill but is enjoying taking his own photos.
This area seemed more overgrown than it has been in the past. The plants have filled in considerably. There don’t seem to be quite as many fairy folk.
There have been a few new additions.
Some I can't remember if they are old or new, but I enjoy each one as if seeing them for the first time. Some are gone completely. Wear and tear has inevitably taken its toll.
The dragon is permanently on guard. I remember him from last year.
"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So, I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" John Lennon
"Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame." William Butler Yeats

One last photo of a little bird.
That's all for this visit from the Fairy Garden. I will be sharing other photos from the rest of our walk soon.
Thanks for putting on your fairy wings with me, and I hope your day is a great one.
