Another week begins. My outings of the day were to pick up groceries and to chat with a town Councillor about the plants for the graveyard out behind my yard. The fence is planned to go up this month. It will be made of wood and 5-6 feet high -- if the town council approves the idea and budget. The wood will go on two sides of the graveyard, with wrought iron going on the other two sides. The hope is to reduce foot traffic through there and the properties all around the place. It should also discourage use of it for folks to walk their dogs (and fail to clean up after them often) -- and all the assorted strangeness that has occurred there over the years. People can be rather strange, can't they? <smile> The next set of headstones might be placed this month, too, depending on the weather. If not, they will wait until spring. There are 40 to go up and will be done in 3 to 4 batches. It will look much better than it has and be a proper cemetery.
When bringing groceries into the house, I realized the number of amazing colours on the ground in the front yard. Back yard trees are still mainly greet, but the front has turned wonderful shades of gold, orange, red and the most ridiculous pink shades. They punctuate the greyness of fall days so well. this is the one thing that makes the weather changes a bit bearable. I still want it to be followed directly by spring, though <grin>.
The song chosen for tonight is about as ridiculous as the pinkish foliage. I liked it for its way of documenting the days -- somewhat like I do here. It isn't one of the bands best, but it is there nonetheless. Keep safe. Enjoy!
