Hey, friends,
I hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Mine has been very nice. I worked all day yesterday, because it was my turn to put the Sunday paper together. Working on Saturdays is fun...more laid-back atmosphere, and an even stronger feeling of comraderie between those of us who are "on" for the weekend. We're all in jeans, the front door is locked, the phones aren't ringing, and it's just a different atmosphere than during the regular business week.
Then today, I got up and went to early Mass, then Doyle, Hagrid and I headed to our friend Rick's surprise birthday party over near Fayetteville. Driving through the Ozarks on a clear, sunny day in late fall was pure delight. We stopped several times for photo ops. If you'd like to see this morning's photos from Maplewood Cemetery, where the most breath-taking fall leaves can be found, look to your right, at the top corner of this entry. If you're at all interested in photos from our road trip today, including unique old tombstones from country cemeteries, look on the left side of the page for the slideshow.
Here's one of my favorite photos of the day:

YAY!!! i have been longing to see maplewood cemetary with the leaves changed and everything and figured you would have some pixs on your site. there positively lovely.
Beautiful picture!
Fun shots. I think I like best the shadows of the iron-railed bridge, the panoramas of the hills with farms and the juxtaposition of the flowers with the aged gravestones. I was glad to come along on another of your jaunts, even if it was only through the web. So... does all that time in cemeteries make you think about your own mortality? What pithy phrase would you put on your own gravestone, writer-lady?
