I simply can't help myself. The flowers, trees, and bushes are blooming from one end of the yard to the other.

With the Semiquincentennial (Wow! that's a mouthful) fast approaching, it is worth noting that there are thirty Revolutionary soldiers and officers interred at Mount Hebron Cemetery and the adjoining burial grounds of the Lutheran and German Reformed Church yards. From Privates to Generals they now rest peacefully together, equal in their patriotism and love of country. Thank you for your service.

The ring found at Mount Hebron Cemetery has been re-united with it's owner! Last Thursday while my family was vacationing in Florida, I got the opportunity to meet and deliver the ring to its rightful owner Stovie Fleming. What a miraculous turn of events that made this reunion possible. Thanks to all that took part in solving the mystery. Thanks to Stovie and Brooke for putting me onto an incredible place called Silver Springs. Did you know that there are wild monkeys in Florida?

Mrs. Reed Planted the Seed

Our friend Mrs. Reed stopped by for a visit a week or so ago. She asked if we had thought about putting out bird feeders.

Kate said "Stand back, I got this".

Its that time of year again when it is time to start cutting grass and w**d eating. With that, I have to take on the role of Mr. Unpopular and ask that everyone review the rules for remembrance items on the sites.
There is a reason why we have these rules. First and foremost, the safety of our staff. Glass/porcelain breaks causing cuts and flat tires, wires from plastic flowers not contained in a metal or hard plastic vase get slung by the trimmer and can cause puncture wounds. We are responsible for maintaining 56 acres, there is no time to stop at the thousands of sites to remove and replace excess items. We have to get the job done and move on.
If you have excess items please remove them now.
For those of you who keep your site tidy and uncluttered, you are appreciated, thank you!

Thanks to all the folks that helped solve this mystery. The entire Wi******er community is part of this story.

A few months ago, a dainty silver ring set off Mount Hebron superintendent and metal-detecting enthusiast Jim Coots' metal detector as he surveyed freshly-turned dirt at Mount Hebron. Thus began an improbable journey featuring a couple of treasure hunters, a network of social media sleuths and a love story that has stood the test of time.
