Last week my daughter and I stopped down at the Fredericksburg Confederate Cemetery on our way home from a day at Chatham Manor. This followed a weekend of heavy thunderstorms, and there was some apparent weather damage in the downtown area. In the center of the cemetery, just a few feet from the Confederate Sentry monument, laid a very large tree branch, which had come crashing down in the storm. It was so heavy that it was literally imbedded into the ground.
Here is the part of the story that prompted these two extraordinary photographs… not a single headstone or row underneath the carnage was touched. Amazing Grace? Absolutely!
Not a single stone fell. Below you can see one of the limbs resting on top of one of the grave markers and a much larger branch resting in between two of them. Even the grounds-keeper was shaking his head.
