This is my fairy journal space for the next 30 or so days.

When I was a little girl, my mother told me fairy stories. According to her, fairies played everywhere I could see fluttering around me and getting into hijinks all the time. I loved her stories and I began seeing traces of fairies in gardens, parks, at the ocean, in the forest, and even in my house. My favorite kind of fairy is a bicycle fairy.
Bicycle fairies came out of the thickets and brambles of nature when the bicycle was invented. So many years ago, the magical creatures were drawn to the sweet sound of wheel spokes cutting through the air as a bike gains speed. Lyrics to spoke songs, like stories, are kept alive across generations of bicycle fairies and new songs are being created all the time.
As bicycle designs changed throughout the years, the fairies' love for bicycles never wane. Bike fairies live on the pedals of bicycles. The fairies follow bicycles every which way they might go, as long as bike spokes make their bike fairy music. While the bicycle fairies are too small to actually ride human bicycles, their size allows them to stowaway on bicyclists undetected. My favorite bicycle fairies are three best bike fairy friends.
Malachi, Ruby & TL live in St. Andrew which is a small town far from here. Surrounded by woodlands, the town has a giant park at its center. Many, if not most, residents of St. Andrew enjoy riding bicycles and so, as might be expected, a large population of bicycle fairies also populate the town.
The three best bike fairy friends all show their appreciation for bicycles in their own way. Malachi writes messages of encouragement on walls or fences for passing bicyclists to have positive messages along their journey. Ruby rides on bicyclists' shoulders to feel the wind on her face as the riders do while weaving through the streets of St. Andrew. TL flies overhead and knocks streetlamps on and off as riders pass beneath. Together with their other bike fairy friends from St. Andrew, they meet at the large oak tree in the center of the park to sing songs and share epic bike ride stories...
