Fairy Rings









 They’ve been spotted — at least evidence of them.  Them?  Fairies, elves, pixies.  They’re real and they’ve been dancing and playing around our neighborhood.  Of course, I haven’t seen them in person as I don’t want to disturb them and risk getting caught up in their magic.

Here is the proof:

These fairy rings, which scientist say occur naturally (but I know better), usually pop up in fields, lawns, or forests this time of wet year.  They live off decaying organic matter in the soil.
Disclaimer:  Many poisonous mushrooms can look very similar to edible ones. Don’t take a chance and eat one (Of course, consuming the “right ones” will increase your chance of seeing fairies, elves, pixies . . .  and god knows what else). 

Cool weather is finally going to arrive this week.  Take the time to get out and explore.  Perhaps you’ll discover your own fairy ring — just don’t get caught up in their magic.  Or, if you do, report back and share your story.

Carpe diem Life,
