My Town Monday: The Fairies are Coming!
Peninsula’s Spring Stroll will be here before long. It’s a celebration of spring, which is welcomed in my Valley. Our winters are long, cold and gray, and warmer temperatures and blue skies are a joy.
Last year’s celebration featured fairy houses and gardens. This year’s event will be Saturday, May 22nd and fairies will return to the Village. Here’s a look at last year’s festivities. As always, please feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you’ve been here. And wander over to My Town Monday, where you will find links to other folks who explore their towns.

In May of 2009, the Village of Peninsula, Ohio, population 602, hosted a village-wide display of fairy houses and gardens. Here is a look at some of them, starting with those at Elements Gallery.

my kiddos loved this, we are inspired to make our own fairy gardens, but I’m wondering if we should wait till spring.

You live in the coolest town! Are you sure it’s a real place? Or is it like Brigadoon and only appears once a year?
