Oh, it's warm then for winter or soon to be winter.
Today we were quite lazy and tired. But that's OK to be on a Sunday. I even fell asleep in the afternoon.
About the cemeteries: I think it is quite usual to take well care of the graves in rural areas. You see lots of people frequenting their cemeteries. When my grandmother was still alive I always had the feeling all the old widows of the village took part in some sort of competition whose grave looks best. Mostly it was about how well kept the flowers were. I do believe there is still some of this spirit alive, inherited by the daughters and granddaughters. Yes, it is mostly women caring for the graves.
The cemetery in my village is also used as a shortcut during the day, but I guess every cemetery in the right position with one gate on each side can be used that way. You are just not allowed to drive through with any vehicle, but walking is OK. It is not that big. When I walk through I often visit my grandparents' grave to say hello.
There are two bigger family graves of my family in this cemetery. But only one is occupied by more than two people yet. There are my great grandparents and their children and one grandchild (my mother's cousin, who died young of a heart attack). This one is mostly tended by another of my mother's cousins, but she lives a few villages further away and so we water the grave too.
My mom decided that when it is her time, she would rather share a grave with my dad in the cemetery of her village and not in the family grave. That's why we water 3 graves now. My mom's brother took over the family grave a few years ago, but I think my mom doesn't trust him to water the plants correctly, lol.
