The day was too lovely to spend indoors.

        David suggested a ride to the country

              to check out an old cemetery that had

                     been found when clearing some land.

 

 

 

 

After a short walk through these

               pretty dried grasses, we came

                                         upon this...............

 

 

 

A small, neglected little

               spot, hosting the remains

                                      of a long lost family.

 

 

Some of the stones dated to the 1800's.

                                Most were unreadable.

            The cemetery has been marked off and

                               hopefully, will be cleaned up

                                           and properly preserved.

 

 

 

We stopped at the Koran cemetery on our way

             and found this marker for Mary Brown,

                           born in 1797! She was the oldest

                              person we came across that day.

 

(I did not notice the small American flag

on the ground behind the marker until

I looked at these pictures.

 I would surely have picked it up.)

 

 

Visiting old cemeteries and

           reading the history found in them

                        is one of my favorite things to do.

However, on this day,

   I felt a little melancoly for some reason.

      It was a good reminder of how important it

             is to live my life, making each day count.

Looking forward to more

lovely spring days to be out and about!
