It's Summer!

Friday was Midsummer's Night

The night when fairies come out to play . . .

And at Linderhof

We have a fairy house

in a fairy garden

And . . . last Friday . . .

We found fairies in the gardens!

Blowing fairy dust

Watching her reflection in a small pond

with her turtle friend . . .

Reading a book in a quiet nook

And holding a leaf so a small bird can have a drink

And a fairy we found amongst the thyme

Who decided to come in for tea

Tea treats of lemon balm cookies

Fairies love lemon balm --

almost as much as thyme.

A proper tea for Midsummer's Night

And our corgi, Dolly,  is a shameless beggar

For she has to have strength for on this night

She was hitched to the fairy queen's coach

You can see the harness marks on her back

All corgis have them

The calendar says summer

And it's finally gotten hot

And I'm afraid that the rain is gone until September

But, oh, what lush plants we have

for our cool wet spring encouraged growth.
