I accidentally created a neighborhood 'fairy garden' and it's bringing the community together

So, here's a bit of accidental wholesome content for your day.A few months ago, I started putting some small, whimsical decorations in the hollow of an old tree stump at the end of my driveway. Just little things - a tiny door, some pebble "stepping stones," a miniature bench. I thought it might make my kids smile on their way to school.What I didn't expect was for it to take on a life of its own.First, I noticed some new additions - a little fairy figure, some colorful marbles. Then more appeared: acorn caps as tiny bowls, a thimble "birdbath," even a tiny clothesline with leaf "laundry."Turns out, neighborhood kids (and some adults!) have been adding to the fairy garden. I've seen families stop by to look at it, heard kids excitedly talking about what they'll bring next.Yesterday, I found a note saying "Thank you for the magic - The Fairies" in childish handwriting. It nearly made me tear up.In a world that can feel divisive, this tiny garden has become a point of connection and joy for our neighborhood. It's a reminder that a small act of whimsy can spark something much bigger.Has anyone else experienced something like this? An unintentional community-builder? I'd love to hear your stories
