April 8

It’s a mystery.

I can find out these things about the late Mr. Tullos:
– He was born in Hazelhurst, Mississippi
– He was a farmer
– His wife, Viola, died in 1952
– Viola has a granite marker at her grave
– He was a member of the Church of Christ

What I can’t find out is why his marker is a plastic dishpan, filled with concrete, with a plastic cross planted in it.

I kept going by this urn. I kept going by this urn and not taking its picture. After my third or fourth time by, I realized that it was just lovely and that it wanted me to photograph it.

I am glad I heard it.

In the McKinny Cemetery, I spotted a very large, very dead tree.
