Fairies and Strawberries

I planted 2 strawberry plants a year or so ago as my friend Tracy said she had great luck with them. She is in Wasilla and I am on a mountain side…I really didn’t think anything would bloom or even grow.  WRONG!  We have Strawberries my friends!!!! OH I know you are jealous Bonnie Dale!   We pick a few each day for a delicious snack.  

(Don't let Amelia's face fool you...she loves them!)

Will be making a Strawberry Pretzel dessert today from her Princess Recipe book we found at a tag sale for a $1.  

Will post on how it turns out.

Figured this was as good a time as any to show you some other greens…edible and otherwise.

 Green Beans.   Have been Stir Frying and using in Salads

Thyme.  The Chives are great too...just past their prime so didn't shoot them 

Rob does not like cabbage and Amelia does not appear to...The Moose and I love it :)

 Not sure what happened to those 2 little ones

Might as well show you what those Arctic Bunnies do to our plants.  Amelia gasped when she saw it as she is the official plant waterer.  I said ... "it's ok bunnies like a treat too, just like you."  She was quite happy with that.

Now on to Fairies, a Fairy House to be more specific.  

Amelia LOVES Tinkerbell (actually Mom and Dad do too ... I always say I love the colors!).  We have all 3 of the movies and anxiously awaiting the 4^th.  It is one of our go to movies when all else fails.  That and Tangled I should say.   

That said, I made her a Fairy House out of the box from her Build a Bear-Hello Kitty she received from our friends the Bieri’s on her birthday in March. HOWEVER, she has spotted it and has been playing with it the whole week, so I figured I better get some pictures of it just in case it looses some parts!

 The Birch, Twigs and Pine Cones are all from the back yard.  Amelia put her dollhouse table, chair, cake and teapot in.  I am sure Cheese and Tink enjoyed that.

I have been working on it for some time and still have not finished as I “tinker” with it whenever there is a dull moment that doesn’t occur all too often.

 Need some wall decorations and more "fairy" appropriate furnishings too :)  In the meantime Amelia put her dollhouse table, chair, cake and teapot in.  

I am sure Cheese and Tink enjoyed that.

 Apparently more pastries are needed. Someday I am taking this kid to Paris!
