This is such a succinct record of the passage of time, Antjas. Thanks for your visit to my blog. I've been wandering around, stopping at various sugaring operations. You see much more tubing these days. Those who are sugaring for commercial purposes really have to go that route in order to produce the volume they need to sustain their businesses.
The name Sudbury sounds so familiar to me. I need to look at a map! As a little girl I lived in Hingham...and I just bet that sounds familiar to you.
The statue in my post today is in a park across the street from what I think are the city hall and a large stone church. I should pay more attention when I take photos, shouldn't I?
So it's my turn to say we don't have something like this here - even at the Missions. Fascinating - are the openings in the back to large crypts?
Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to your San Gabriels question -- yup, that was them. The winters these days are very clear esp. after a bit of rain. I've really started to notice how many nice days there are since I started the blog last May. December days after rain are some of my favorites. This spring we've had a lot of sunny days, but I expect the marine layer to settle in and not to be able to see the mountains for long.
Tash, the front graveyard holds the bodies of many who fought against the British in Concord on April 19, 1775 and it is so written on many a gravestone. Between this Cemetery and the Tombs built into the hill is Concord Road, the road I take to work every day. These tombs (or crypts) contain the bodies of some of Sudbury's early prominent families from the 1700s. They have heavy locks on them and I don't recall ever seeing one open. The hill above is the one of the newer cemeteries in town, from the 1800s. Many streets, schools and buildings in Sudbury bare the same names that are on these early gravestones.
Interesting Picture... and excellent pic-posts on your Blog. I guess this is the first time i came across your Blog,and will be a regular visitor in future .... Thanks for visiting my blog....
