THE FAIRY RING MEETING

The garden forest came alive
For the Fairy Queen had arrived
She flew down on gossamer wing
To her toadstool in the fairy ring

She smiled her very best greeting
For this was a special meeting
To converse with the woodland creatures
For they were her very best teachers

Owl was her wisest friend
On her good advice she could depend
Winter was still hanging around
And Spring was nowhere to be found

The Queen said, "My magic has lost it's spell.
What wisdom, dear Owl, do you tell?
I need your help to awaken spring
So again the baby birds will sing."

Owl replied, "You need a special kind of fairy dust
In the Sandman you can trust
To sprinkle Winter with sleepy sand
So Spring will come forth to green the land."

The plan worked like a magic charm
And the land became serene and calm
A shimmering sunbeam shone upon the fairy ring
To announce, at last, the arrival of Spring!

Oh, big smiles and happy tears and thank you Kitty-Kat!  I am glad you liked the photo of the fairy ring - and what a delight it was to meet your Fairy Queen granddaughter Victoria when she bravely flew all the way here to South Africa on her tiny Fairy Queen gossamer wings.  She is every bit as sweet as you are, and that is a huge compliment to her!  The forest creatures haven't stopped talking about her with me since she was here!  

Hugs to you and Her Majesty, Fairy Queen Victoria!
Owl

What a magical adventure and such wise advice given by our dear friend Owl to put the winter to sleep for spring. The Sandman ... who would have thunk? Enjoyed!
