Parent's gravesite

Question: Do I set out the flowers at the cemetery on Friday night or Saturday morning?  I've done it both ways.  As I remember, Grandpa would take the flowers out in the morning and one of us kids would go along to 'help' so he probably did it Saturday morning.  Mother Nature made the decision for me this year.  There were frost warnings for Friday night (frost on my roof this morning).  I put the flowers out at sunrise (well, more like 7 a.m.).  Mine are the pink/purple w/ alyssum ones.  Nice to have other real flowers at the tombstone.  

The movie Conclave was waiting at the library for me.  My DVD player worked for maybe and hour and then stopped again.   I got it as a gift from my Honeywell group 20 years ago so it's done it's bit.    I considered buying a new one before realizing that my laptop already has the software to play movies.  I plopped the disc into it's external drive and watched the movie instead of on the 'big screen' on a 'small screen'.    Personally I would have put a different twist at the end - a more believable one but as gripping.

Beautiful photo. You have a very nice blog. Not sure about the Friday or Saturday, so I cannot answer this. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada.
