I forgot how difficult it could be to find some sand here..there was some in the yard..I had to sift for it, though. We tried it on rocks too..but the sand is the same color as the rocks! Funny how we are so affected by rocks..today we buried Shadow, a cat that's been in the family for 19 of our human years. We all took turns with the shovel and placed his box in the dirt hole. Everyone told a memory of him and dropped some daisies before helping to cover him up. Then we topped his grave with rocks, hoping they will protect and deter anything from trying to dig the remains up before he's all decomposed.
Next week we're working on leaves..goin on a hike to gather some and then pressing them into rolled out clay slabs and trimming them into a dish. It may be ambitious to think we can do both the hike AND the clay project in the same day!
