“Gram, Gram it’s a heart rock,” yelled Ellie.
“Put it in the Treasure Jar,” Emily added.
The heart shaped rock is eagerly placed in the red jar and joins a collection of treasures we find on our nature walks. Almost every weekend the girls and I find time to visit a local park. Often we are accompanied by Lisa, Emily and Ellie’s friend. Our only purpose is to relax, enjoy, and of course, hunt for interesting items. Last fall we collected a “twin” acorn, a butterfly’s wing and a white crystal. This spring an empty robin’s egg, marble and two feathers were added in a single trip. On another expedition the three girls scurried from tree to tree finding tiny red, yellow, blue and green paint pellets.
An important part...
