LOL <br /><br />That is exactly the moral I would draw as well. I am forever picking up rocks, pinecones, little smooth sticks, and making my husband wonder where I went on walks.

I have just started 'Jude the Obscure' a bit damp, but perfectly readable.fabriquefantastiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455177942688723902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-74370289917195677432013-08-05T11:16:07.722-04:002013-08-05T11:16:07.722-04:00Kathleen, when my husband was alive we lived in Sp...Kathleen, when my husband was alive we lived in Spokane and when we walked every day I picked up ephemera of all sorts: bike clips, pencils, screws, nuts&bolts, hair pieces, broken sunglasses, you get the idea.<br /><br />After a year of collecting this stuff and having a large tray full of it my husband built a 3' x 4' box for me and I glued all this stuff in artistic patterns to the box then we mounted it on our outdoor shed. It became the basis for much "yard art" while he was alive.<br /><br />I now live in Port Townsend, WA and walking is a whole different experience, the streets are clean here for the most part and not much to pick up but oh my goodness the beach combing! I see a new "yard art" box on the horizon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
