I also find cemeteries peaceful in their way, but the tend to make me sad. There are no "new" cemeteries here, so they're all replete with infant graves with lambs on the headstones from the depression. You'd (actually probably not) be amazed how many there are, and never with parents or family...because it was the depression, and people couldn't afford more than one plot...or probably even that one plot, for that matter...
But there are rows of these infant graves that make me so absolutely melancholy. Those headstones likely meant those families couldn't even eat.

Unrelated entirely. I just want to go on the record in saying that work? It is murdering me. My vacation is week after next, though. Got a lot of sleeping and shopping to do.
And, oh, yeah...my car is going into the shop on Wednesday. Busted motor mount. Gross.
