Yesterday was one of my favorite celebrations: Fairy Fest! Our friend organizes (with help!) a day long celebration that includes making fairy houses, singing songs, chasing the Green Man and dancing around a maypole. The festival is at her beautiful house in the woods outside Decorah.
Lily is working on her house. We use natural items we all collect and hot glue guns!
It’s fun for adults, too!
Sylvia with her finished product.

The maypole! We didn’t get any pictures of it this year because Jon and I were both dancing! There was a pick up band of about 5 people. We danced several dances, including a complicated weaving dance!
A beautiful spot in the woods. We burned an effigy of winter at the end to keep winter away, but who knows with the crazy winter we’ve been having!
