Do you believe in fairies? I do. Mostly because I am one. I am a garden fairy. You probably won't be able to see me, but I live in the elegant, romantic woods of Lover’s Lane, on Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is by Green Gables in Cavendish. I love listening to all the families, children, friends and couples laugh and talk while they walk. It makes me want to join the conversation too. Typically I go and sit by the stream and waterfall. You might not notice it, since it could be small to you, more like a small slope of water. When I sit, I think about how lucky I am, to have the big woods of Lover’s Lane. I pity you humans. I wish you would be able to explore all the woods with me, in my way.
I watch all of my brothers and sisters and friends and family either sleeping on a big fluffy and hairy flower or fluttering around the flowers and talking in the stream with friends.
I fly over the the orchards filled with flowers. They are called Forget-Me-Nots, and I know I’ll never forget them. Will you? There are so many, and so magnificent. I like pressing my nose into the blue flowers. They smell wonderful. I have smelled them many times before but every time they smell different, and sweeter. No one ever gets tired of the scent.
A few of my best friends, Casey, Dellana and Parral joined me by the flowers yesterday. “Want to come to the buds with us?" asked Dellana. The warm spring breeze blew her long golden brown hair gently. I accepted, of course. Every spring, we go to look at the buds of the tree and what other else we can find.
When we flew out of the forest, Parral spotted a fallen tree stump. We flew in to take a closer look. We landed and walked in though a small gap. It was a big brown cave. Soon after we were ready to go out again. We casually went on a fly, which is basically a walk or hike for you people. We saw a few crowns of ferns, as we fairies call it. Parral, Casey, Dellana and I all took turns being the queen in the ferns. As we flew on Casey saw some trees with a few pink flowers just starting to bloom. There were other purple flowers there too, and dandelions.
I now hope that if you didn’t before, you will now believe in fairies. Just because you might not be able to see us, it doesn't mean we are not there.
