A few days ago, Laura and I were walking to the library after school, as we usually do on Wednesdays. The sun glowed cold and blared its pale, wavering waves at us through wispy winds and thin clouds. We sidetracked to many back-streets, where we found the most beautiful place:

It was next to an Italian restaurant called the Vineyard, and as I thought the culture of Italy was awesome, I absolutely fell in love. Hopefully the faeries that live there will not desert, for they make the plants there beautiful and fragile even in the dying light of winter.
And in book club, I found the most exciting book:
I finished it just a day ago, and though short and sweet, the book gives a lot of facts about faeries. Did you know that if you put a penny on the ground, and whatever color it glows is how 'bad' the faerie is? And did you know about the faerie ring that is possibly stealing hot water from your basement? (If indeed your hot water is being curiously derived from your basement sinks and showers).
Obviously, I thought it was really fun, and you should definitely read it if you want to know a more modern guide on modern-day faeries.
I hope the days for you have gone well, and that you have had more encounters with faeries in the week. (Even if they happen to be the human kind.)
The fairy poet takes a sheet
Of moonbeam, silver white;
His ink is dew from daisies sweet,
His pen a point of light.
~Joyce Kilmer
