It’s one liner Wednesday- to bad it’s Thursday. Oh well, better late then never- and speaking of “late’ I chose a quote about cemeteries and a couple of pictures that I took to go along with it.
The first was taken at a cemetery in Puyallup, Washington and the second was taken at Evergreen Washelli Funeral Home and Cemetery in Seattle, Washington.

In an effort to make sure that his grave was not disturbed, it is said that Shakespeare penned his own epitaph and it reads as follows:
Shakespeare’s Grave
Stratford-upon-Avon
“Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare, To dig the dust enclosed here. Blessed be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones.”
Scary stuff- and I’m not sure if it worked but it may have. Curses are pretty convincing to a large segment of the population.
On the other hand that are grave makers that aren’t as creepy or theatrical but will scare the heck out of you all the same- not that they’ve run people off but they really are the stuff of nightmares.
Here are two markers that can be found in Red Gate Woods, outside of Chicago Illinois and I’m good. I don’t need to visit these sites- but I have to admit.
I am curious

For Busboys’ Photo Challenge Prompt Last On The Card I have a doozy.
This is the very last picture I took in February.
It was taken in a cemetery.
RIP February.
