The Book Thief
17/05/2018 01:36 amWednesday was a most magical day indeed.
The morning spent slinking and sniffing about in the garden, watering the weeds, planting the last cloves of garlic, and checking to see how the very precious saffron bulbs were getting along
The grand plans for this gorgeous sunny day included a visit to the Fremantle cemetery, especially the Lakes garden where Petunia has a little spot reserved for her ashes.
While it seems on the surface to be a most miserable and depressing thing to visit a graveyard, in fact they are the most precious sacred sites for this serpent. Petunia used to often remark on this peculiar obsession.
You will be long enough dead, so why lurk in such morbid places while still alive?
But graveyards are places full of trees, weeds, birds and other living things. They are also sites of memory and history and the perfect place for an old soul to lurk.
( A grave mistake )
