On a Sunday Drive
After being cooped up for several days with a very bad bug and a trip to the hospital (I'll spare you from the details) my thoughtful husband suggested a drive in the country.We found a whole community we never knew existed.
I love old barns
Stone drain
Another lovely barn. I like the soft weeds in front
Barely standing but still working
But the most amazing thing we discovered was a tiny Swedish Cemetery
Twins-a baby boy and girl.sadly there were a lot of children that died early
A huge tree Swalloing up this tombstone
i wonder if these will be swalloed up too.
Oddly most of the stones indicates how long the person lived rather then showing the date of death.
Another baby Rosa. A rattle and what looks like a favorite toy was carved on the stone
A very old stone
I hope you get out discover new things
