Last week's late bloom now nestled under a deep snow drift. I was lulled by October's charms into thinking jacket weather would last. Take care out on the roads, good people. #FlowerReport

Sending out to a friend, a lifelong overthinker and doer, who is trying to embrace calm.

Momento Mori: final day for #31daysofgraves. A new stone went in beside Mom's, with the last person to be interred there having my birthday. If nothing else, cemetery rambles are its own momento mori; we will all be carried off, one day, so enjoy the here and now. Union Burying Ground, Burlington.
