Just two quick things I forgot to mention in last week’s post (and have been struggling for a week now to find time to update on this site):
- Christina returned to the gravesite last week and discovered that two of the azalea plants she’d let live as a kind of compromise with the mystery planter had since grown to such a point that they were taking over the site: They are gone now. Take that mystery planter!
- Frau Krämer gave Murphy a special dispensation to come to the cemetery, which technically does not allow dogs. I don’t think they’d be thrilled if we showed up with him every day, but every now and then should be fine. And this greatly increases the odds of my showing up at the cemetery, seeing as Murphy and I are routinely back in that part of the woods. Whether I will go more often is an open question: It still doesn’t feel 100% right. But, not going doesn’t feel 100% right either. We’ve tried it once, the jury is still out, and we’ll definitely give it one more go.
