dogwood spring

The view from the back porch. I am always surprised each year when this happens, seems like we go from winter to spring instantly. We just spent a somewhat rainy three days in Monterey last week but now I'm having to water pots in the garden.

The weather didn't stop us from wandering around the cemetery close to where we were staying.

As a geographer, I've always found cemeteries interesting. They tell the history of the area. And I'm always looking for witty or profound gravestones. I've given instructions that no artificial flowers are to be placed on my grave. I want real ones.

No flags needed for me, just flowers, or perhaps some sort of an arrangement of found objects.
