A sure of sign of spring's arrival is this annual ad in the local newspaper:
"Spring Cleaning Dates for the Ravenswood Cemetery"
Every year the ad makes me smile, and I can just see those poor tired departed souls dragging up out of their graves, fetching brooms and rakes and trash bags to complete the annual ritual of spring cleaning.
So come on, all you folks beneath the ground, rise up and get your place cleaned up! Get rid of those faded silk flowers and dead chrysanthemums, and rake up the leaves around your gravestones. It's Spring! Time to get the place spruced up!
