Okay, some of you may think this is a bit morbid but I think a beautiful cemetary plot can be a great gift to your loved ones. It had been over two years since I had gotten to Wanamingo to Grandma & Grandpa Norstad's grave sites (also buried next to them is Emory and Myrtle) also there are Ruth and Conroe, right behind G&G's headstone. A few years ago Jim met me out there and we made a "curved" flower bed and planted a hosta and some annuals....I went two years ago and planted some more annuals but didn't get there last year and have felt awful about that. So, I went today. ohmygosh! the weeds were thick and about to my mid calf. I dug and shook and dug and shook and cleared it all out! Then I put a
"trim" around the edge and planted some perennials and some annuals and watered with miracle grow and then put mulch down...It took me an hour and 1/2!Then the gate to the cemetary had gone closed and the inside "open" button didn't work...I was starting to panic...thankfully, I could reach my arm through the gate to hit the other "open" button.
Here are a couple pictures.
(PS G&G Paul are taken care of every year by me...they have pots {one for G&G and Ervin and another for Emil}..I fill them every year as well as mom and dad's.
I should send pics of mom and dad's .. Debra plants flowers there too and it's very beautiful...I walk over there at least once a week and check, weed, and water.)
Love to you all.
Deb
