Some of the previous items have been moved around. This includes the ever-present ceramic angel which now can see what the view from the top of the stone is.
The white wig is resting upon a Campbell's can which gives it some shape.
The birthday balloon is now completely flat and resting at the side of the tombstone.

The early morning fog made for some great images of the tombstone.
Here is a vertical shot that shows the fog on the distant trees even better.
Here is the view from directly in front with a new bouquet of flowers and a can of soup in the grass.
On the tombstone itself someone has left the fitting tribute of a paint brush.

August 6, 2008 would have been Andy's 80th birthday. He has received a few presents: a white wig, sunglasses and a deflated red balloon.
A close up of the wig and glasses. Note how the wig is being held down by the soup cans. It almost looks like Andy is wearing one of those beer helmits.

I'm not sure if these are 2 new cans of tomato or just part of the 6 total cans that were there.
The view from a slightly different angle.

As we approached the cemetary the sight of a downed tree met our eyes. At first, we thought that Andy would be under the tree.
However, as we moved closer, we could see that the tree top was right behind Andy's parents.
Here is the view from right in front.
This is the base of the tree...
and the view from the base of the tree.
When we first approached the scene two fawns who had been resting in the downed tree ran out. Here is one of them.

The cans had been rearranged back to the top of the tombstone. The sun hit them just right to leave a great shadow effect.
A little closer.

The tombstone has been turned into a soup aisle. Only two varieties available, but they have been nicely organized.
Campbell's Tomato on the top.
Campbell's Chicken Noodle on the side.
