The original Gardenwife!

Every once in a while, it’s fun to be vain and use Google’s link: feature, to see who all might be linking to your site. I did that tonight and found that almost all the links were ones I posted at Dave’s Garden linking to my blog or gallery.


What’s strange is, I know several nice fellow bloggers link to this site, but they don’t show up with the search. I suppose sites with higher traffic are the only ones to show up on the Google radar.

Anyway, I found something both interesting and funny when searching Google Images for gardenwife: Posted at rootsweb.com is a photo of a headstone. The image is called GardenWife.jpg and it’s included on this page.

Now, I love taking photos of cemeteries with their wonderful old grave markers, but I can’t claim this one. Even after reading the description below the photo, it took a moment:

In Memory of
Annabell Alice
Wife of Charles Garden
Daughter of Hon. Charles and Ann Fisher Connell
Born April 13, 1851
Died Sept. 21, 1927
Anglican Christ Church cemetery, Lower Woodstock.

I guess the mystery’s solved. It just tickled me since Gardenwife is not a name I run across very often. Good for me, huh? ;)

  1. I love taking pictures at the cemetery also. I have some in my photo gallery. There’s just something I like about the peacefulness of the whole place. Plus, the Lexington Cemetery has two ponds with ducks and huge goldfish that you can feed. They especially love crackers!

  2. Very cool!
