Memorial Day at Acacia


I will have to admit I don't understand it much, but the keeper has a great fascination with cemeteries 
(and death).  She likes visiting them. She has some Irish blood, but not that much. Maybe it's just her work.  Or maybe it is just her age.
But today is Memorial Day and after planting and weeding for hours outside, she decided to relax by going on a rather long walk to the Lake and back.  It started at Acacia Cemetery where lots of people were decorating graves.  She only knows one person at Acacia who is in a crypt, but she was not a veteran. But still the clumps of people placing flags and flowers, young, old, some with walkers, wheelchairs, others with pets, all made for a touching part of the walk.
