For the last few summers, I have been trying to accomplish too much. You know the feeling. You keep thinking winter will be here all too soon and I need to "make hay while the sun shines".
I have a busy fall ahead so I think it would be wise to make a summer schedule. Scanning, archiving and researching all need to be done (from the porch)!
Starting this week, I am only going to blog two or three times a week. Tombstone Tuesday is a must so that will be one day.
I want you to know that I have already been out gravestone hunting this spring and my friend Brian Zoldak has been taking photos too. So, I will have plenty to write about all fall and winter.
Spend quality time this summer. Remember the days of the wading pool? Yes, this is me in my grandparents yard.
Those were the days....

Summer in the Cemetery
This lovely hydrangea in full bloom in the garden cemetery in Mystic, CT is a reminder to all of us who love the graveyard that summer and early fall are our best time to get out there and take photos.
My summer will be a bit different this year as I don't have a vacation trip planned. I am going to the Stanton reunion in July and the Rice reunion in September but that is all.
I have been thinking that I don't know as much about the cemeteries that I have been frequenting for the last several years so maybe it is time to work on where they are, what is their history, and who do I have buried there.
Find a Grave has really taken off in the last few years. Some people are posting photos and not being careful what cemetery they are adding them to. I found one with there different names!
I worked hard in the beginning to locate cemeteries. Someone who shares my ancestral line posted one or two of my photos to Find a Grave and put his name on it. Should I complain or just say, "Well, thanks for doing my work for me?"
So, this summer, I want to make sure I have the right information. I'll be posting it here but not every day. I need a vacation, too.
