)O( Tea Witch’s Musings )O(

Well, mostly they’ve grown moldy.  I’ve thrown one out already.  Another will join this week’s trash.  The third seems to be drying with slightly less mold than the others.  The idea is to make a natural gourd rattle.  The process sounded simple enough - get a gourd and let it dry.  But my gourds seem to have read a different set of instructions, even though our weather has been drier than usual.  Hmm, perhaps this is why I should stick to writing as a creative output and not try say, becoming a professional gourd rattle maker.  (less than 1000 words to go for nanowrimo!)
