People put coins on Eliza Hamilton’s grave, too. I don’t know why.

Imagine losing your husband AND your children AND at least one in-law within about 15 years and making it another 30 or so years. That must’ve been so very hard on every possible front. I hope she had extraordinary community support.

That’s how you know they’re supposed to be places people visit. There’s no need for all that GORGEOUSNESS if people aren’t supposed to see it regularly.

The first two are in Texas, the third is in Connecticut, the last is in Montana. I’m fascinated by the small enclosures for single or a group of graves. Sometimes all that’s left is the gate or the posts but the intent is clear.

#31DaysofGraves Grave Scottish Thoughts edition Day 3: Overgrown These are all in maintained cemeteries in the greater Houston area. It makes me sad to think of all the memorials that have already been swallowed by time and soft dirt because no one was tending to them beyond mowing now and then.

I just want to join others in saying thank you for putting together this bit of fun. This is my third time and I looked forward to it all year!

#31DaysofGraves Scottish Grave Thoughts edition Day 2: Died Abroad Per the math on his stone, Alwyn Bible was 15 when he joined the Navy & 17 when he died. I’ve been struck by the courage that must’ve taken.

I appreciate the sentiment, Rep Stansbury, but there are very clearly a LOT of people above the law. It’s demonstrated in Congress and this administration every single day.

Stuff I saw yesterday on my #cemeterycrawl that accidentally included a park & wildlife refuge. Headstone is for a man who served in WWII, Korea, AND Vietnam. It was being swallowed by a tree & I couldn’t get between them. The cat wanted to come home with me until it was time to get in the car.

Also, Mr Bible, the math ain’t mathin’… There are 0 people who’d lie about their age to join the military anymore - and I don’t blame them. What we’re doing now is bullshit. I’m sorry, kid.

If #30DaysofGraves has “juxtaposition” again this year, this is my submission. The absolute most SPRING IN TEXAS thing ever - bluebonnets, just a little outcrop - in the Damon Cemetery. ❤️🪻
