The summer is winding down, our garden has had it. The rain has done bad things to our vegetable gardens, which produced so much at the beginning of the year. Most of the tomato plants rotted away from wet!  The dampness has hardly had a chance to dry since the spring.

And the nights, now longer, are also getting sharper and colder. I am thinking of starting the den redo project this Saturday, I will see how I feel and how the money situation is.

A few weeks back Ed and I did a survey of all of the Upper Freehold and Allentown Burying grounds. You can see the results here.     I think you will like it, if cemeteries are not creepy places to you, but places of history and lives.  Besides, we took a Rue Odyssey, and found Rue's in many denominations here in town. They were Methodists and Quakers and Catholics.  We found Rue's in at least four graveyards here if not more.  And that is just in this town!

Anyway, I found this old photo in the "Cox in America" publication, and here is a burying ground that for three centuries resides just across the street from the Rue house.   You can see our lovely hills in the background.  Alas it is no more.

More this weekend!
