picking weeds

I picked weeds and trimmed shrubbery at the cemetery this morning.  I am part of a volunteer work crew that helps out at the church cemetery on Wednesday mornings and I find that picking weeds is not only necessary but rewarding.  Rewarding?  Yes, my parents are "residing" in this cemetery and it gives me great comfort to know that I am part of a group that truly takes pride in the upkeep of this lovely peaceful place.  It is a very historic cemetery with the graves of many of the areas founding families dating back to the early 1800's.  It is called Jesse Knight Memorial Cemetery.  And, it is beautiful...like a park.  There are many large old shade trees and the grass is thick and green.  Keeping the weeds down is a chore, but one I choose.  It's just something I do.  With pleasure.
