Gifts from the Knitting Fairy

I live in on 4 1/2 acres of land in the woods.  The distance between my mailbox and my house is measured in miles.  Specifically, the mailbox is 1/8 miles from my house.  It is something of an event, especially for my four dogs, to get the mail everyday.

Yesterday, my husband and I went to the mailbox together.  We walked slowly, wary of the spider webs that invariably are strung between the trees and shrubs that line the winding path from the house to the mailbox.  We passed through the inner gate, beyond which the dogs are not allowed to venture.  There are several layers of trees above the path between the inner and outer gates, making it somewhat dark, even in the middle of the day.

Approaching the outer gate, I noticed an unusual object lying in the path.  As I got closer, I noticed it was a box.  With a label.  From KnitPicks.

I turned to my husband and exclaimed, "The knitting fairy has visited us!"

Indeed, the knitting fairy had left us a box full of the things I ordered from KnitPicks last week.

I love the knitting fairy!
