When I was little I called them dwarf pipes. Do you know what they are called?<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/090707_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd to my amazement they formed a fairy ring in one tree-covered area of the ground!<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/090707_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nI was gathering feathers and such for my collection.

And a few feet away from the stump was a lone (and very forgotten) grave stone from the 1850&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>\nPretty mushroom formation in the moss.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/090707_4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd a snail I could not get to come out of his shell (I wanted to see his slimy antennas!)<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/090707_7.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nLastly, a very inspiring Etsy find that I own. I just love the intricate, folksy (and very storybook) woodland border.
