From a year ago...change a few details and it could have been yesterday:

What a magnificent day!  I woke up refreshed, relaxed, and rejuvenated.  

Lakeview Cemetery is quite the place for the living as well as the dead.  I’ve just arrived--it’s about 70 degrees and though overcast, the landscape is vibrant with the autumn palette.  As I was  driving in, I saw two pairs of lovers: one couple walking holding hands, the other necking on the grass under a sculpture.   Then I spotted two other couples touring gravesites with literature in hand.  

Now check that out...a pretty girl on another grave just spotted me and waved…Hey, maybe this is a "singles" cemetery too!

But, Of course, I'm up to no good as I sit on the steps of a rich family's mausoleum chugging beer and blogging!  Yes, I’m the bane of the dead as I suck their unexpressed inspiration while concommitantly sucking down beers!  I scream to them psychically: “You died without giving words to those things in your heart that begged for expression!  So I’ve returned to channel you—I’m your bloggyman!”

Uh-oh!  A-la-Poltergeist the sky just turned roiling black with indication of a tempest and the temp just dropped 20 degrees with the blast of a 30 mph wind.  And I just kicked over my beer!  Okay I’ve seen better days.  Exit stage left!

Here, however, are a couple of new seasonal pics from yesterday:
