Mowing season is coming on us fast here at Echols. As with our yards at home, the cemetery grounds also have to be cleaned first. In the cemetery, that includes picking up sticks and any flowers or other items that the wind has blown around. Also making sure there are no glass or sharp items in the cemetery that could end up puncturing a tire on the mower or messing up the mower blade. If you visit the cemetery and see something on the ground like I mention, please pick it up. You can pitch it in the bins that we keep there for discarded flowers. This will help our grounds caretaker, Jeremy.. You may even see something that he misses. I hope everyone has a nice spring. I think all of us enjoy seeing our cemetery after the first mowing of the season. And remember that the caretaker is paid from your donations. You may donate anytime throughout the calendar year.
