Memorial Day moments

Today Dan and Piper accompanied Grandma Sue to a service held at Grandpa Bob's cemetery, where they even had a gun salute.  Then they picnicked by Grandpa Bob's grave, and visited and remembered.

I couldn't help but be taken by these photos:  the juxtaposition of a place we associate with death, alive and pulsing with newness and beauty.  It reminded me of the idea that energy, once created, can never be destroyed.  It is instead recycled.
