Today we headed to the
cemetery to plant flowers and have a picnic. This is one of Wayne's favorite days of the year, along with Green Up Day and Christmas. He really loves planting flowers, spreading mulch, getting dirty. Meanwhile Heather, dressed in her fairy princess dress, shows off her knowledge of the alphabet.
Wayne and Cole get to work planting some flowers for
Grampie.
Wayne loved these little pruning sheers of Joanie's.
Planting some flowers for Ellie.
By this time Wes and Cole had gone to get sandwiches for our picnic.
Heather supervises.
We took a break for lunch. It had gotten very windy and chilly so we all put on jackets and sweatshirts. At this point, I brought Heather home for her nap and Joanie, Wes, and the boys did some more planting at
Westlook and then they were headed to the Barton
cemetery.

ok crying now thanks!
ReplyDeleteGrammie thanks you for putting the flowers on Dad's grave. They look very nice!
ReplyDeleteI think Joanie looks quite young in those photos. And I like the gravestone that is labeled "Stone" so that there can be no doubt.
Looks like Joan, Wes, and W,C,& H did a great job! Thank you for remembering Dad, Ellie, and our ancestors!

It was a coolish day, but still a lovely day for you to plant flowers, which look so beautiful. Ed came up to Westlook after Aunt Pearl's funeral, planted one orange flower, and enjoyed reading Wayne Henry's grave book. I still think that's such a great idea, to have a place for people to write their thoughts and messages.
ReplyDeleteDoes Heather really know the alphabet???
