I was called out on assignment the other day. Smoky-Brown Sr. showed up at my backdoor, requesting that I document the burial of his son S-B Jr. who passed away unexpectedly.
Feeling guilty, because my pest guy had just worked in the yard, I figured, wth, I can do this. I did however, make a deal with Smoky that he never show up in my part of the world again.
It was a sunrise service, and junior was laid to rest on a soft thistle. He was almost good looking as he lay there caressed by the sunlight……………
Is there a cucaracha heaven?
Make the most of your day folks.

just a slightly confused comment coming up ....
only fair cos you have confused me with your write up ...
Quite extraordinary, the thistle seems to be actively involved in the story, as though it's in the process of enveloping the corpse. This is just amazing.

A nice place to R.I.P.
Well, I hope for Mr. Smoky Sr. that he holds to his promise!
Johanna
a fine tale for this a bit quirky picture. And thanks for showing something so totally different!
hope you enjoyed it enough to let you forget your headache
