She Makes

 She makes these colors from ant hills, collard greens, polk berries, chalk, dirt, ashes, rust. She mixes and mashes and moves them from container to container. She even made this paper with sweet forever friend Aida while we visited her over the weekend. She would create all day everyday.
She wants to weave, and spin. She wants to hammer and nail. She wants to cut and piece together, she wants to sew and knit and stitch. She recently learned about silk and wants to find a cocoon and try to take it apart and make thread. She loves to read and read and read. She wants to talk about all things and learn about all things.  She fiddles and acts and she tells her brothers what to do. And she still has her chickens and loves to watch the birds.
