FAIRY FLYS

Fairy Flys, elusive, shy, little fairies.
I found these wispy girls in the country fields, fluttering about the frosted grass

Pink pearl skin and white sparkle hair, these fairies are the keepers of the wild flowers
I hoped that I could find a way to invite these pretty little fairies to the Tea Party


Now, most faeries can be tempted with sweets, or beautiful dresses, but because these girls lived among the wild flowers and honey bees, it would be much harder to tempt them. They wore very little clothing, a sprig of grass or a leaf seemed to be the only adornment over their lovely pink skins
So I made cute little bright colored frocks and shoes and top hats covered with flowers

I set them out at the edge of my yard near some frosted grass, now I would wait and see if they take the bait!

THE BUG SISTERS

I got a call from a friend that lives along a beautiful old Floridian canal, lush and tropical.

I took a walk over to her house and became mesmerized by the ballet of dragon flies swooping and flying, and gently landing on strands of grass.

I almost forgot the reason she called, the Bug Sisters had taken up residence among the plants on her pool deck.

I entered the pool area, and there they were, Dorthea Dragon Fly

All dressed up in their summertime frocks, I asked if they would like to come to the Mad Hatter Tea Party. The Grand Parade would be Saturday June 27th!
The girls happily accepted the invitation and wondered if the Chickadee birds would also be coming?
Yes, please come and meet me under the Oak Tree.
The March Hare was going to be so happy to see all these lovely ladies, joining him for a afternoon tea!
