As we began to collect new treasures on our Arizona trip it was only natural for the children to put together a nature table with a Southwest flare. Samantha put a pillowcase on top of the coffee tray in our room. Then she and Jasper carefully placed each of their findings onto the tray with such grace and focus. A little cotton from the cotton field, seeds and seed pods from the Botanical Garden, a pomegranate from our walk to the coffee shop and various flowers and petals from the resort where we stayed.
Upon leaving Arizona, Samantha made sure that the nature table was properly dismantled and packed in her suitcase. It is actually very comforting to have these fragrant flowers and fruits around us here in Portland. A wonderful reminder of what is to come...
