Here's one for you:
View attachment 1673098 This is how I bury the dead. Neat grave don't you think?
I sat and chatted to Dink for half an hour or so and touched her one last time before I covered her with earth and packed each layer down with the sledgehammer. Her son and three daughters watched from the safety of the bamboo clump at the top of the bank.
There are some Magnolia seeds buried underneath her and that's a Magnolia leaf with a walnut on so she can pay the ferryman..
Precious Shad. That looks about the way I've done it, minus the magnolia, but next time I'll find something for the ferryman also. She sure was a beauty!
I also add a cross of branches on top, so that I can check to make sure nothing has been digging at the spot for a while.
So sorry Shad. I like the way you paid your final respects.
Hi Debby!! Happy V Day!
