Beach combing on the ancient ocean bed

Today’s postcard from the universe, unearthed while digging for a new planting space along the back north east boundary.

Bottom half of a white booted figure, a vintage button and a VFW Auxiliary medal.

I don’t have a loupe so find it hard to decipher the stamps on the back of the metal medallion.

A bit of free association brings support and closure.

The legs stand firm exuding confidence and stability.

Look for the helpers, said Mr Rogers’ mother: the auxiliaries.

A button will keep it all together.
