Dear Liza,
You know I love our local Pioneer Cemetery, Lone Fir. It has been used for over 150 years and always brings me peace and perspective.

In the spring, it is full of dandelions and dogwood blossoms, birdsong and baby squirrels.

The very, very dead folks seem to balance out the newness of spring, reminding us that all this newness comes and goes quickly. “Enjoy the beauty!” They whisper. “It’s gone in a blink!”

This year is shaping up to be one of many adventures. Camping with SOAK, art boothing with Auntie Bridgett, and maybe even a visit to you. It’s good to know I can carry the perspective of Lone Fir with me.
Love,
Grandma Judy
