What is this flower?

Found this next to a few of the old graves at the cemetery.

It looks planted, though. Does anyone know what it could be?

First outing since the surgery

After Albie ran off to the store without me today, I got angry. I have been locked up in the house for almost two weeks now, with just one exception - a trip to Walmart on Friday to pick up a prescription. So when he got back from the store, Albie said "would you like to go for a ride?"

Of course, I had tons of questions. Where? ("It's a surprise.") Is it far? ("No.") Will it involve tons of walking? ("No.") Will there be other people there, i.e., should I get changed? ("Probably not.")

A few minutes later, we arrived at... a cemetery. Brilliant.

"Just wait until I tell people about this on my blog," I said, while slowly trying to crawl out of the car.

Turns out it's the oldest cemetery in Naugatuck, dating back to the 1790s. We walked around for a bit and looked at all the graves, thinking up stories of the families that lay beneath. All in all, it was pretty fun, and I got myself some of that fresh air everyone is always raving about.
