I remember being certain that fairies lived in our Lilac tree. I could imagine all sorts of daily fun they had. Also, the excitement of the little spit bugs that were found on blades of grass. The huge brightly colored spiders (several inches long) that lived in the hay field. Our grandpa tree that is the largest Douglas Fir for miles around and the gigantic crane flies that live along the trunk in the dark cool thick shade underneath. Blackberry picking. My little pet fir tree that I planted in the back of the property and I watered it and would go talk to it.
