February Roses

This morning, I went walking in Mount Auburn Cemetery. It was snowing, but not too cold, which is perfect for evoking Victorian melancholy without suffering too much.

Near the Mary Baker Eddy memorial, I happened across a scene that appeared to have been stolen from a 14-year-old goth's imagination:
What kind of roses still cling to the bush in February?

A new book I just came across: Our History In Stone: The New England Cemetery Dictionary. I haven't seen it, but it sounds like it might be interesting.

(I miss Mount Auburn.)
