Generalismo

On Friday we went downtown to see some things and we stopped at St. Michael’s cemetery.

It looks kind of tropical, which seems unusual to me for an old cemetery. But then, it’s not New England.

Some big Live Oak trees. They’re very attractive, but it’s a *huge* pain to rake up their leaves, as I found out a few weeks ago, and they told me they shed year round The leaves are a lot smaller than the leaves I’m used to raking.

We couldn’t figure out what this was at first. What is a money symbol doing on a gravestone? But then Porter realized it must be IHS put together in one image.

This stone was kind of neat with the Greek writing. I wonder what it says.

Some of the stones were sobering beyond average. Two plots that I recall had two stones each for babies who died within a short period of time.

The next day we headed to the beach. It was *beautiful*! The water was so blue - much bluer than I had seen other days. I found out that the sand actually squeaks when you walk on it. Very different!
