Sieving

We went on our monthly shopping spree today at a cash and carry type place about 40 minutes away by car.
In the morning I sieved out about a month's worth of ash from the stove. I get the nails out and put them out for the rubbish men on fridays. I took the ash up the road to the lady that gave me the big radish the other month, she likes it for her field and there is always plenty of ash. There were a few bits of unburnt charcoal in there so I started this drawing with some of them. Sammy had a go at chopping again today and lost the head of the axe once, so I also fixed the handle a little and reattached the head on it.
