News for May 2026
The cemetery was mowed earlier and has grown out some. A few decorations have appeared but I don't expect many, due to the difficulties this year has brought.
The cemetery looks lonlier without the trees in the middle. But they had to be cut, as they were dead and dying. Here are some stump pictures.

Cedar Stump - about 192 rings

News for 2026 -
Last fall, I had the three dead and dying trees in the center of the cemetery cut. They had been shedding limbs and someone could be clonked with one at any time. So this is the new cemetery view. We will miss the trees but trees do not last forever.
2025 March - 2 Spruce and 1 Cedar, before cutting
The road is currently passable. I trimmed some of the bushes back at the turn so they won't hit cars. The culvert under the road is showing some signs of breaking down on the right side.
Decorating: Be aware that if you put pretty flowers and decorations on the actual grave, the mower will not mow that area. The feller doing the mowing can't remove the decorations - mow the grave - then replace them. A wreath on the headstone works well and doesn't get in the mowers way.
The gate will be open a few days around Memorial Day, so you won't have to open and close every time someone drives in. We'll close it afterward. It is not locked.
One or two stones have fallen over and need some attention. Any suggestions?
Later in summer, there may be some small insects flying about. So take some care walking in the cemetery.
