These are some of my natural history ramblings, both literary and afoot, the result of a search for whatever there is to be found, including the native orchids and wildflowers of the beautiful state in which we live.

Northern State Hospital (Part 3)
This is the third part of my series of posts on Northern State Hospital, this post featuring the cemetery, which I found to be a very sad place, the outbuildings and the cannery.

the grave markers
i assume a patient number
their initials and perhaps a thoughtful penny to mark the year
I think saddest is that there was no family left or no one who knew or cared to do better.
Immensely sad. The whole place is sad but the cemetery most of all. We did wonder about the pennies, since most of the graves had them.
