The grave of Rev and Mrs MacDonald. Mrs MacDonald is better known as Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series of children's books. A visit to Prince Edward Island in Canada is a thoroughly enjoyable pilgrimage for lovers of her books.

The house looks like out of a postcard, and a well kept grave.
What a treat to visit this beautiful island and see the grave of a much loved author .... I loved the Anne of Green Gable books.
Looks amazing with those blooms on that grave.
Interesting grave and a nice shot of the green gabled house. I enjoyed that story as a kid.
A happy grave post!
What a beautifully cared for grave. Lovely post.
I have yet to make it here, but it's on my list of places I'd like to visit. It looks lovely!
Just look at that bed of flowers on their grave! Most unusual, but very nice.
A beautifully maintained grave - delightful with the two pillars of pines and lovely mass of white flowers! Very picturesque! And the house looks like a fairytale house!
Great post and a beautifully kept grave, wonder if it is planted with flowers all year?
all those flowers! thats really nice... i would not mind having a grave like that..
Those flowers look like Alyssum (Sweet Alice). They certainly add a folksy feel to the grave.
I have to admit to having never read anything by LM Montgomery. I know a bit about her, and about the GG books but somehow was never hooked. And I was a voracious reader as a child.
I am given to understand that PEI is a gardener's paradise. I wonder if the ocean currents take the normal chill off the climate that one should suspect that far 'up'?
Good to see you are able to give your archives such a good run with this meme. Keep it up!
That charming grave with all the flowers speaks volumes about how well-loved Lucy Maud Montgomery was and still is. For some reason (perhaps beause I grew up in Europe) I too missed reading Anne of Green Gables. Pretty place and photos, Ann.
