Stonewall Jackson Gravesite



Notice all the lemons tossed in? Supposedly Jackson thought of lemons as a "rare treat ... enjoyed greatly whenever it could be obtained from the enemy's camp" (From Wikipedia. I didn't come prepared with lemons so we didn't leave a lemon this time.

    Neat statue, maybe they should have given him a sour look on his face to go with the lemons.

    Nice looking tribute to good ole' Stonewall. Never knew that he liked lemons in that manner. I've learned something new again!

    Good Post, Tanya. Keep up the interesting work.

    I wonder if the gardeners have to go in periodically and pull up little lemon tree saplings.

    I didn't know that. Very interesting! Will make sure to bring a lemon when we're there next summer. :)
