In a similar vein, I loved this one at Granary in Boston. Elizabeth Hurd was Mr. Hurd’s comfort.

I found the #31DaysofGraves for this year and migrated my participation to here from the other place. It gives me joy to share the beauty of remembrance. I’m behind, though, and am stuck on “languages.” Will have to go in search this weekend. Oh nooooo!

Also, these little boogers give joy, too.
