I was in our yard on this beautiful, sunny, low-humidity morning…just walking around with a cup of coffee, looking at the flowers and bending over to pull a few weeds here and there when I noticed my fairy is missing!
Earlier I wrote an entry about buying a fairy and hiding it in my flowers for my little grand-daughter to find, knowing that it would not be this summer since she lives n Mozambique, Africa. However, I “hid” it in a place where I could see the fairy fairly (fairy fairly?) easily. I looked around to see if she had blown over, like Babe, the Blue Ox, (an 18 1/2 feet tall, 24 feet wide, 6000 lbs. Minnesota Icon that blew over in a storm in northern Minnesota yesterday) but I couldn’t find my fairy anywhere. Her bench is still there. I will only surmise that a squirrel ran off with her and she is sitting in some lucky squirrel’s nest protecting nuts for her new friends.
Friends of ours had a squirrel steal a Matchbox car from their garden. So I would not be surprised if the thief in your garden is also a squirrel.
Good to know…just as with the raccoons getting into the porch, I would have loved seeing the squirrel carry off the fairy!
I’m sorry to hear about this loss. 🙁 But I love reading this entry and the lens in which you chose to view this situation! You continue to inspire me each day!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was squirrels who absconded with the fairy. Maybe they are squirrels from my garage who are still trying to get revenge!
