               The Magic Forest

     Walk quietly into the magic forest on a warm sunny day, and if you pause and listen, in the silence, a gentle breeze will lead you to a hollow tree. Put your ear against the hollow tree and inside you will hear the soft beautiful music of the fairies that live within.

     They are singing and dancing around the mushroom circle. Each fairy dances on the crown of a mushroom. And as they dance, the movement of their wings carries their magic into the forest.

                Gnomes In Your Garden

     On the end of a winding stone path that runs through a beautiful garden, stands a miniature house made of bark with a golden straw roof. There are lady slippers and snapdragons that surround the tiny house. Ladybugs sun themselves on the beautiful pink petals.

     You can hear the humming sounds of the gnomes as they tend to the garden. Laughing and singing, they make piles of seeds that fall to the ground from the many flowers. They place them there for the birds to enjoy.

     When their day is finished taking care of the garden, they go into their tiny bark house and lay down to sleep on their tiny straw beds. They know they will always be there to take care of the garden, though we cannot see them, we can see the magic.
