A few days ago June found a dead shrew near our back door and it was decided that it should be buried.
She and December chose a quiet spot near the end of our garden to dig the grave and then the tiny creature was buried with some ceremony, including prayers and a blessing.
This afternoon, the girls felt it was time to properly mark the grave (Daddy having mowed the lawn earlier in the day) and so they made simple crosses using twigs and stems of grass to bind them together. The burial site was then decorated with these as well as petals and leaves.
