Maybell likes it here near the lake, in the Pear Orchard and secure on cold days in the Fairy houses. The food is to her taste and if it gets really cold the whole troupe hide among the chickens at sunset and wander into the chicken home. Chickens have a body temperature of 107ยบ F. Fifteen chickens together with a couple dozen Fairies makes for a warm Winter's night. This chicken home is a vintage travel trailer made over into a chicken house. It is much more than just a chicken "house."
Maybell is happy. We still talk a lot. Her time reflecting on her Ma and Da wasn't like human time at all. She reflected internally for months. She said she is about ready to tell me more stories... soon. I had to remind her that my life expectancy is not 1000 years plus like a Fairy life.
Along with all that she likes around here, the Sunsets are her favorite. All the years she lived at Buckingham Palace in London she could not see the sunset. Fairies can fly quite well, but not terribly high. She couldn't get in the air high enough to see any great sunsets. Here on the lake the sunsets are magnificent several times each week.
The other day Maybell sent one of her great (to the tenth) granddaughters up on our deck to capture an especially attractive sunset. Fairies are not "magical," she could not capture the sunset. She could however, psych David into filming it for her. David doesn't exactly know it, but he can hear the fairies talk to him. This Fairy, Snowbell (named after one of our cats), needed to sit very quietly to have the film taken. She folded her wings way back so they didn't show.
I am presenting here the video of this sunset filmed by David S. Warren, directed by Maybell, with a lovely young Fairy Capturing The Sunset in a crackled crystal ball.
