Red sky in
the morning - it's going to blow and rain...
...but first, some marigolds at the Hart of the Wud (see Master Chaynjis).
Then later, up to the burial ground with pasties and other things:
actually, although it was blowing, and Ben's grave is facing the wind, there are trees all round, so it wasn't too windy......and it didn't rain.
(There is a video, to give a feeling of our Dia de los Muertos at the Burial ground...and also a link to the music we used)
This is Frank's grave.
When we got back to Phoenix Barn, it poured and let the floods abroad (for half an hour) but the ofrenda was safe, and I was even able to open the door, without everything blowing around, so Ben could slip in...
In the morning, Jenny and I went up to
tidy, leaving Ben's grave looking 'acceptable' again......this is a wider view of the burial ground, with Ben's grave under a wild cherry tree.
Eventually, it will be a lovely mature woodland, absolutely full of fruit trees.
