Grave Robbing

For those of you who don't live near me, there is a large cemetery about a half mile from my house. A small group of us go walking there most mornings, and after memorial day, there were so many pretty flowers that we just couldn't help ourselves. The whole place was just covered in flower pots. There was some good stuff out there! Fresh and silk flowers, small toys, baskets, vases--and what do the dead need them for anyway? My kids really had fun with some of the pinwheels out there too.


OK, really, a week after Memorial Day the cemetery asks for volunteers to come clear all the graves so they can mow the grass again. You can keep whatever you want, they just throw away the rest. Now all the porches around my building are covered in chrysanthemums. So here's to grave robbing!
