Spring has sprung in Spring Hill Cemetery in Harrodsburg, Kentucky! I’ve always thought this a most beautiful cemetery, but spring brings out color and life! Ritchey and I visited Sunday after church, searching for a few gravestones to photograph for obituaries – for future postings! – and just enjoying a lovely Sunday afternoon!
The sun was shining, a soft breeze was blowing and birds could be heard chirping away! This dogwood is gorgeous!
The Sparrow’s grave was decked out with tulips – such a colorful statement! Jack Sparrow, 1905-1995, May Matherly Sparrow, 1904-1989.
Redbuds were in abundance throughout the cemetery.
Many of the Confederate graves were adorned with tulips and daffodils.

Some cemeteries do a wonderful job with flowers. I love to take pictures there, but some think it’s creepy. I always try to be respectful and display the mood intended. I’d like to know that people in the future were reading my name and wondering who I may of been.
It’s not creepy – death is a part of life. Cemeteries are just remembrances of those loved ones who have passed on. I ponder about that too – will there be another genealogist – or anyone – in the years to come who stand before my grave and ask, now what kind of person was she?
