a different sort of grave

 

Today’s sketch is from a photo remembering one of our last visits to The Antique Rose Emporium in Independence, TX. I’ve been thinking it’s time to go back there to get a vintage rose to plant by the barn — but Bill has surgery this week so it can wait (another surgery on his upper spine; the previous neurosurgeon only did 2 bulging disc repairs when he should have done 3 or 4 — that’s what’s been behind Bill’s continuous pain the past 6 1/2 years).

This funny cemetery plot on the garden grounds is where broken flower pots end up. The “headstone” shovel I drew reads “Rest in Pieces”. Others read “Cracked Up” and “Dead Broke”. One even has an old stone gargoyle for a headstone!
