Forest Funeral (warning: dead mouse)

You know the Girlettes like to lay things to rest. They were happy, as it were, to find a dead creature (mouse?) that required their services…
WARNING: 1 photo w/ dead mouse 
(1st photo below)

They used a roll of birch bark as a sledge to convey the mouse to burial site (w soft ground)…

A spoon to dig the grave in a soft spot

… and they said the heart sutra—“gone, gone, 

utterly gone beyond —

yay!”

  2. even the smallest of creatures deserve a send-off. using birch bark is genius and a wonderful carrying and burying tool.

    1. Thanks! I looked back and was surprised to see they haven’t done a big project since Easter. They’re always up to something though. 😀😆
