Max came with us to Cullman. The prior two days had been very rainy so everything was soaked. We spent the first morning working on the diesel carrier. I got the second set of wheels on it so we could roll it over to the tractor. A small improvement but a useful one. Then we got the battery saw and trimmed the overhanging branches on the field behind the house. That will make mowing a little less trouble and will permit me to put herbicide on the growth at the edge. Then we discovered the rototiller had a leak from the gas line. We got that fixed fairly easily I relocated the zero turn to the barn since it continues to drip oil. The bottom seal will require replacement at the end of summer. I put the new mower and the tiller in the workshop. I also registered the Toro mower and requested the side discharge attachment that we needed. Today we will spray some weeds and perhaps get some mowing done on the field across from the lake.
Effigies are used in grieving by providing a tangible representation of what has been lost, allowing a mourner to connect with who or what they've lost , which can help with the process of acceptance and emotional expression, particularly when the loss is sudden or traumatic; they can be used to focus grief and memories around a physical likeness, offering a sense of continued presence even in their absence
