a few days ago all three kids were here,  an ice and battery delivery,   and Alyssia and i were at the table talking.   They were worn out from Tag and had brought down their digging tools,  a trowel,  spoons, a spatula,  a couple bowls and began digging.  And as always,  told to go elsewhere….farther away….not where people walk and as always they really wanted to dig     there      ?  Maybe because they can listen to our conversation?      don't know because as they are digging there is a LOT of conversation between them,   but i gave in and said ok but you will need to make it Good before you leave….fill in the hole,   well.       They did.  And

this nice arrangement of rocks.

yesterday i saw Emrie squatting,  looking at it and called over to her how much i like the really good job they had done.      This morning as i went by,  looking down i saw her addition.    Look right in the middle.   That's so Emrie.   and she didn't say anything,  just did it.       Being here by herself,   spent the rest of the time teaching Minnow how to climb trees.

    My Mom used to tell my sister and I to do things, “con gracia”, to do things with grace. By that she meant, doing a little extra, an added bit to bring a sense of the special to whatever we were doing…Emrie’s special touch in the middle of the rock arrangement holds gracia.

    Such a special touch. Emrie has a gift for simple ceremony.
