April 26, 2014 Poughkeepsie Cemetery

      It looked a little iffy when we left home but the weather report promised sun and we did see a little although it was mostly overcast.  Due to the cold winter, the spring blooms were just beginning.
     This was more of a stroll than a walk.  There were 10 of us and we spent time looking at the graves, peering into the mausoleums,  [many had stained glass and I took pix of several], looking at the flowers etc. 
      This cemetery has so many beautiful trees it was unfortunate that only a few of them were in bloom.  It was still an enjoyable walk.
      Four of us had lunch at Perkins.
