As the snow has melted, J and I have got to see more and more of the yard behind the new house. We knew it was decent sized for being on a city block and we were excited at the possibilities of fencing it in for the pups.
In the last few weeks, a surprise of sorts has come out of the house buying adventure and the pictures below portray our new neighbors...
Yep, headstones. Who would have thought? I certainly had not considered the possibility of having headstones in the back right corner of our yard, but behold! We checked with the real estate agent and she thinks the stones don't come with any organic remains, but it makes you wonder nonetheless.
At first it was quite a shock and I was a little (ok a lot) weirded out by the prospect of having headstones in the backyard. But after raking and spending some time with the attention-grabbing icons, I've had a little change of heart... Now my interests are piqued and I have more curiosity if nothing else for the names on the stones. The area is full of the last name Peltier and I'm half tempted to open up the phone book and have some heart to hearts.
Last week we started some seedlings inside and are planting an array of fruits and veggies for the garden, of notable mention would be the pumpkins. It seems there is the perfect little incline directly behind the headstones for a pumpkin patch... and I'm thinking about getting a bat house too! All the comforts of Halloween, year round. :-)
