After such a nice, mild winter it was so hard to enjoy the long, cold spring. All the elves and chipmunks hid in their houses and let the weeds grow. Now they have a yard filled with dandelion fluff. The elwen don’t mind. They gather all that fluff for pillows and mattresses. I’ve seen them running across my yard in the evening, gathering the puffy seed-heads into their little brown sacks.

In the meantime, the puppets are having a wonderful time at the Cooperstown Farmer’s Market. Here are three new ones that have joined the family.

Now, time to plant radishes and cucumbers. Those are the ones the elves like best.
