Spring Lake beckoned us this weekend . . . instead of a walk around the waters edge we visited a favorite picnic and play area . . . a mound speckled with boulders, Interior Oak trees and Buckeye trees . . . with a sprinkling of magic . . . we call it the Faery Mound because it feels so alive and otherworldly . . . we have made a game of keeping from touching the ground by exploring the area only by stepping and climbing on stones and trees . . . and we pay close attention to the details of change in this lovely little woodland . . .

Another reason we call it the Faery Mound is due to the numerous entry-ways into the mound. Below are a few examples:
