Cemetery Day

Every year, just before Memorial Day, my family takes a day and plants flowers on some of the family graves.  I took a half day off from work to do this today.  We visit six different cemeteries, go out to lunch and later for ice cream.  Z ended up working really late last night and got the day off so he was able to join K, Gideon, an aunt, cousin and myself.  Usually he is at work.  Getting together and doing this is my happy for today.  I took many pictures throughout the day, some just of landscape.

We try to clean up the stones a little bit.

Poor Santa. 

Lilacs!

Some pretty spectacular clouds.
