Tombstone

Just-born bunnies are delicate creatures. Newborns must be kept together in a nest or they will die from exposure within minutes. The mother will not make this happen, it's up to the owner. But sometimes the owner misses it too.

Coconut gave birth without any of us knowing.
Off schedule.
And we had to have a burial for the babies.
Tristan made a tombstone.

Then corrected the misspelled words.
.

Then spent a moment in silence.
.

Then finished it off with a marker.
Like our tomatoes and our lettuce.
.

Sawyer contributed too.
.

He worked on it.


And worked on it.
.

And worked on it.
.

And worked some more.
.

And finally revealed---
"The Bunnies."
He kept it simple.
