That evening, Michela found the fairytale book...the one she’d remembered with the gazebo.  “What do you think?” she asked her Aunt Ida.

“Oh, that’s beautiful,” Ida said.  “It would be a nice addition to the backyard.”  She paused.  “But it would be expensive.”

“I realize that,” Micheal admitted, “so I have an idea.  What if I save up all summer and we put one up this fall?”

“That’s very generous.”  Ida smiled.  “However, what if I pay for the gazebo and you save your money for school this fall?”

“I see what you did there,” Michela said, then hugged her aunt.  “You really want me to go to college, don’t you?”

“Yes,” Ida replied, “and I know it would have made your mother very happy.”  She looked over at the photo of her sister.  “Lily always wanted you to have all the choices in the world.”  She patted Michela on the arm.  “It’s what I want, too.”

“We can wait on the gazebo,” Michela offered.

“Nonsense, it’s a wonderful idea.”  Ida smiled.  “After all that you and your mother have done in that fairy garden…it deserves to have a proper place to view it.”

Michela picked up the book to put it back on the shelf and stopped as she saw something slip out and land on the floor.

“What’s this?”  She picked up the paper and unfolded it.  “Aunt Ida, did you know Mom had a drawing in here?”

“No,” Ida shook her head.  “I haven’t looked at that book in quite a while.”

“It’s the garden,” Michela said, turning the paper 90 degrees.  “And it’s from a long time ago…before we added the area on the north side.”

“The miniature trees,” Ida remembered.  “Those are so cute.”

“What Mom called the Fairy Forest.” Michela smiled.  “We had so much fun picking out just the right evergreens for it.”  She turned the paper around again.  “It looks like there’s something written on the bottom.”
