This is the little stone church, 200 years old, that we pass when we walk to the store. It's two blocks away from our house. Very charming, and yes, that is a tree growing out of the steeple.
We love to come here and explore. Some of the tombstones are brand new, and some are so old that age and lichen have removed all traces of dates and names. Irish people tend to decorate the graves of their departed ones with all sorts of trinkets that the deceased presumably liked; we find tombstones surrounded by various kinds of flowers, framed pictures, snow globes, stuffed animals, candles, plaques, figurines... it makes a taking walk through the cemetery a fascinating experience.
