Vatican Necropolis pilgramage to St Peters tomb

So yesterday I get this email from a Vatican Email address.  Very Official sounding.

This message is in regards to your request to visit the necropolis under the
Papal Basilica of St. Peter, for N. 2 people, from Wednesday November 17,
2010 .

The visit which you requested has been authorized.

I applied for this visit way back in April.  Forgot all about it really.  figured since I did not get a response in May or June that I was out of luck.   The only bad thing is that they assign the time.  It is 330 and our ship sails at 730.   I looked up the train schedules, it is close but doable.

Toad Lily

The toad lily is one of the last flowers to bloom in the fall garden. This is the first year that mine bloomed.  With all the recent rain I almost missed it.  I have a gold on was well. But that was trampled by the pups.  Don't know if it will grow back.

October is here.

Wow it is hard to believe that October is here. I think this may be the first year that we have not had to turn on the heat before October 1.
