Treasure, revisited

What happens to all our treasure once it comes back from the beach?

Mama sorts it on the ledge of the cottage's front porch.

And re-sorts, and re-organizes, every night.

(It's kind of like therapy.)

Lucy un-sorts it all each day. And dumps. And pours. And throws, and drops, and scatters. And delivers some to us as gifts.

And re-sorts.

And examines.

And shares the joy with Mama all over again.

Beautiful!
We enjoy this same type of fun, (including this mama too! : )

Oh, this is lovely. I love your porch sill. I love your sorting containers. I love your sorter, or is it unsorter. Beautiful post.
