Grass laid on a gravestone
Becoming calmer as I worked around the edge of the stone
One side at a time 
Wind returning as I finished 
Blowing the grass off the stone

Returned the following day
Calm to begin with but the wind soon picked up
Placed old nettle and dock stalks on top of the grass to hold it in place 
Seemed unlikely that I would finish 
However
The sky darkened but didn’t rain (as was forecast) and the wind dropped 
Cold, calm and overcast 
Perfect
