My friend S. works at a tree farm. Moss grows along with the seedlings. Now that I'm writing about it, I don't know if it has to be removed or it falls off while they are packing the trees for shipment, but in any case, she brought me a collection of little moss pieces to put into my fairy garden.

It is so hard to take good pictures of it. I struggled mightily to get these few, that don't do it justice.

I don't know if this moss will 'take'. I tried to nestle it down below the granite sand layer so it was touching soil. We'll see. Moss is such an appealing plant. I would love to cultivate it somehow. For now I think it will do fine because of the cool temperatures.

In one of the moss clumps, there was actually a little tree! It would take a minor miracle for this to survive I think. But miracles do happen, from time to time.

And finally, here's a drone's eye view.

This has been a pleasant winter pursuit. 'Gardening' on a micro scale. As much as one can hope for in the last days of January.

I wonder if it will ever get covered in snow? Chances seem slim right now. I guess all the WINTER is vacationing back east at the moment.

Stay warm everyone!
