wine bottles

On the corner lot of my neighborhood, a woman in dark clothing has been planting empty wine bottles in a row around her house. This project has been going on forever, each year more and more bottles are dug in with the bottles tops buried in the dirt leaving the thick part of the bottle sticking up.

When the wild grasses are high they are hard to see but as the grasses dry up the bottles are once again visible. None of us have asked her what she is doing, we just spend time creating stories about this bizarre garden.

The husband places no trespassing signs around the property to keep the high school kids away.

Maybe it is time to ask, although we haven't asked for many years. Maybe we have missed the right time to ask.
