all better

fingers, originally uploaded by pilgrimgirl.

So CatGirl came to me with a worried look on her brow. She held out her finger towards me.

"It's a leaf cut--like a paper cut, but from the edge of a leaf."

Sure enough, I could see a small cut at the joint of her second finger. She squeezed it a bit and a bright smear of blood showed.

"It really burns."

"Ok, we'll leave for home soon. It's getting dark anyways..."

I resumed my gardening task and CG went up to the spigot to wash her hand.

She returned a few moments later, so proud of her garden bandage: a soft 'cloth' of lambsear tied with a sprig of Mexican sage.

"It feels better now."
