Hundreds of chestnuts fallen from the trees outside the nursing home...it's an image I remember from childhood. And years later, a knee-high memorial stone half hidden by summer grass. I have a head full of words so of course a quotation comes to mind. It's from Montaigne: "I hope death finds me planting my cabbages."

Great image and sentiment.
It astounds me the pictures you can create in my head with so few words.
I hope death finds me planting my arugula. I'm a snob.
Joya, you're just the kind of snob I love.
Lovely.
Ok, I couldn't get it to go. Who was it?
that's a sentiment for the stone, indeed ...

Bridgett: it was my wicked grandmother.
