Blue Monday & Ruby Tuesday Too: Happy New Year!

DSC_0305
A snowman decoration in Wellton (Arizona) Memorial Cemetery seems out of place in the Sonoran Desert environment.

 
One photo, two memes.
 

In a frosty voice,
the snowman tells new stories
as the old year ends.

Blue Monday: Mary’s Place

DSC_0139
Mary has a special place at Yuma Pioneer Cemetery, Yuma, Arizona.
 
 

When I go to Mary’s Place,
I remember her sweet face,
And the way she used to pray
At the start of every day:
“Bless, O Lord, both great and small;
Shower good things on them all.
Let not evil have its way
This or any other day.”
Thus she prayed for you and me,
Prayed nonstop, prayed fervently.
I can almost see her face
When I come to Mary’s Place.
