Shady Grove


This was another of the caches in the cemetery series. This time we barely went any distance before the land was opening up. Again, beautiful rolling hills with lots of trees. Just the kind of land we hope to live on one day. Who knows, perhaps a cache will lead us to our future homestead.

This cemetery had a very different energy than the previous one. It reminded me of being in New Mexico. The grass was in tufts and parched. The dirt was sandy. There were but a few trees. The surrounding fence was like walking into the cattle pens my great grandparents had when I was a child.
This is a mostly abandoned graveyard, taken care of by the abandoned graveyard association in Parker County. It seems one lone soul was buried there in 2001, but otherwise the graves were from the early 1900's.

There was a newly built church beside it with a newly built playground. Noelle played on the slide for a long while. She even went down by herself a couple times, and it wasn't one of those little slides. She seems to be full of laughs and an absence of fear when she goes down. Hmmm...sounds like I have a few skipped heartbeats in the future.
