Beautifying the Dreary Garden

I was reading a book thinking of spring flowers I loved to plant in my neglected garden, then gnomes, fairies and pixies approached me and asked me to beautify the dreary garden. I nodded and gave my approval, happily they sprung all around; and working together they sang, " Let's make this garden very beautiful, and play happy music for everybody; sunshine is warm, butterflies will come!" In a matter of hours the garden was finished, it looked so lovely; I asked them if they wanted to stay and have a party in the backyard. They agreed and started to hang lights on trees and to spread tables. The neighbors came out and smiled, everybody thought it was a fairy tale, and joined them drinking and singing... small and big people having great fun! Written on 6/28/2016
