Lovely ones, this dreary day I have a piece of fiction to send you to, under my name at Apple Valley Review (and check out everything else at that fantastic site). . .and if you are in the mood for a gorgeous cemetery on a hill, click on the Observer-Reporter link at right. Today we went hiking up Pine Box Trail to yet another cemetery hidden by tall deciduous trees--it was so wet my shoes were squishing by the time we reached the car again. But beautiful. The drear just makes the gold of changing maples glow more brightly.
