15) Cold Is Settling Down

There's a slight squirmy chill in the air today. I can't seem to sit still. I've got a hundred and one reasons why I shouldn't go outside, however I know I need to finish some projects. Dad's observatory needs more paint on the other side. The ginseng is still at the other plot of land. I need to make beds for it here, plant it into the ground, and cover it with mulch. This all means I get to drive a tractor possibly soon.

Yesterday I wasted a ton of time searching for mushrooms out back by the cemetery. I found puffballs, and a whole bunch of others that are to me indistinguishable from anything. They're all in canvas and paper bags in another room, but I'll go through them one of these days soon, before they rot.

I walked through the cemetery for the first time yesterday. I found 4 license plate type grave markers. Two of which said Baby Hardy, and gave no birth date. The other two gave names, and the ages were too young. They died when they were children in around 1905. It amazes me that these aluminum plate type markers would last so long. I didn't look through the stones very long, and my curiosity is more and more wondering about the light I see all night long across the barbed wire and into the graveyard. A solar powered light shines all night so that the loved ones can come see their family's memorial, and know where it is. Well, my fingers are warming up now. It's about time to start cranking out some articles.
