In spite of a forecast of rain and storms with up to an inch of precip, Meg and the children and I headed out to Putnam County to do the cemetery tour of Meg's ancestors, to put flowers on their gravestones. It sprinkled on us in the beginning, but the rain stopped and there was no more of it for the rest of the day. Weathermen don't know everything!
Believe it or not, the children seem to like these cemetery ventures. They put flowers on the graves and dance around looking at bugs and other treasures. We trekked to nine cemeteries--Stilesville, Mount Carmel, Fillmore, Old Union, Farrow family site, Old Greencastle, Something-Hill in Greencastle, Deer Creek, and New Providence. We had a picnic under a tree at the Fillmore Cemetery and generally enjoyed the day, although the children were beginning to get bored at the end. Time to head back to Hendricks County. At the last cemetery, the children ran off to play around a playhouse thing, and Robin came back with something spilled all down the front of her play dress. What? Did you throw up? She said she had...but the drips down the front were orange. Whatever did she eat that caused that? Well...that's when little brother ratted. She had found a robin's egg and held it just a little too tightly... She hadn't thrown up at all!
We didn't get home until 7:30, and then there were baths to take, etc. All in all, "Remorial Day," as Ryan calls it, was a busy day.
