There are fairies
at the bottom of our garden!
They often have a dance
on summer nights:
the butterflies and bees
make a lovely little breeze.
and the rabbits stand about
and hold the lights.
Did you know that they could sit
upon the moonbeams
And pick a little star to make a fan,
and dance away up there
in the middle of the air?
Well they can.

First, I must apologize for the timing of this post! The month's half over! At any rate, we decided that this poem would be a great inspiration for our June nature table as this is the month of the Summer Solstice. We could just imagine such goings on under the moonlight our little yard, perhaps near the apple trees where S is always busy building fairy houses and leaving special things for the fairies and gnomes. Enjoy, and Happy Summer!
