Garden A Day Challenge - Day 19, International Picnic Day

Does this scene look a little familiar? Just a few adjustments from the last scene and we have a new holiday to celebrate; International Picnic Day. In this photo you can actually see the red rim of the repurposed BBQ grill. Luca is relaxing on the driftwood, while Nadya sits on her on ladybug listing off her favorite Summer activities to council members Dianna and Radella.

Caspian and Poppy have helped themselves to some delicious snacks.

Julip and Ivy find a secluded area nearby to set up a picnic.

WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU

Fairy's Wheel

I have been cooped up in my house due to a promise I made to the fairies not to snoop on their newest addition to the festivities planned for the King. Finally the Council came to my window this morning and told me I could see what they had been working on.

A Ferris Wheel! Nestled amongst a colorful array of flora, this attraction will soon be bustling with activity.

Each cart is cushioned with fresh moss. I wonder if that would make our human-sized ferris wheels more comfortable?

The Fairy Council pose in front of the "Fairy's" Wheel for a photo. Grace asked me to save this picture for her to use for their newsletter.

Fall Fairy Garden Tour: Council Dwellings

Hello again, followers. This past month I have introduced you to a few new gardens; the Haunted House and the Halloween Festival, both dedicated to the Fall holiday of Halloween. I picked up my supplies at stores like Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Dollar Tree. I really liked using hay for the scene as it not only represents Fall, but also gave great ground coverage.

Since then, I have made a trip to Home Depot to pick up Fall plants and flowers for new gardens including Viola, Stonecrop (a mix of coneflower, salvia and Catmint), Alyssum, Cyclamen and Mums. I also received a delivery from Breck's, a Netherlands company, that included Fondant Hyacinth, Giant and California Daffodil, a selection of Hyacinths - including Grape, Gipsy Queen and Gipsy Princess - and Apricot-Pink Tulips. You may have noticed that some of these are Spring plants but because my corner of the globe hardly experiences Winter, I can expect them to bloom pre-Spring.

With all that said, I would like to introduce the remainder of my Fall Fairy Garden Tour in the next few blog posts. Firstly; The Council Dwellings.

Pictured here is the Council Square. It includes the Fairy Council dwellings (white and purple building) and council building (purple) where their meetings are held, as well as a lush garden area to enjoy when they are not working.

The pebbled walkway leads to the gazebo in a shady spot that the council members and guests can relax at.

The beautiful view from the gazebo area.

The Council Square is surrounded by foliage and vibrant flowers that fill the air with a lovely fragrance.
