Grandchildren’s Secret Garden
As my first two grandchildren, Aaron and Zoe, grow older, the mystery of the secret garden remains in their hearts. While they might not go in to check out what is happening as often, they have shared with their little cousin Robert about this very special place. I am sure Robert will share with his baby sister, Elizabeth, in a year or so.
This Summer, Zoe took all the fairy figures and carefully placed them under the old Split Leaf Maple Tree. She is at an age where each item is placed just so. Of course, our cat Teddy wanted to come and see what was happening. Teddy loves to hide under the branches of this tree. We can never see his white fur because the leaves on the tree are so thick.
A secret garden is where you must be younger than 12 and older than 50. Our family has no secrets, so we amended the rules to include that you can invite your parents in if you want.
I loved listening to Robert the other day explain to his mommy that this is a secret place for the fairies and children. And we have to leave everything there. But we can move things around.
Do you have a special place for your children or grandchildren? Where can they use their imaginations to create stories? Our little Robert will soon add a matchbox truck or two for the fairies. Or he may create something that has nothing to do with the fairies. It is totally up to him.
