At the house in Vermont, down by the edge of the woods, near the little lake is a patch of Bee Balm flowers. Tall flowers with dark pink glorious blooms, intermingled with wild raspberries. It is so quiet in this magical place. Listen! There is a vibration in the air and tiny green and blue creatures darting about and hovering in the air. Are they fairies? They could be! They are the most enchanting things I have ever seen. Humming birds!

They are hard quite hard to draw, but if you look closely you might see one!
