Went for a walk yesterday and found an old family cemetery not far up the road from us. Headstones from the late 1860’s. A lovely and peaceful space.

Close up of a weathered grey headstone. It is a tall and thin rectangle with a carved sheaf of wheat on top, the name "True K Mason" below and date of death may 7, 1889. Additional dates and a passage engraved on the stone below are not legible.A rock wall, slightly over knee high, built of irregular rocks comfortably larger than a human head, enclosing a cleared space with a handful of rock headstones standing erect. Trees full of green leaves rise up behind.
