JoeIt was a crisp, sunny day in the midst of a grim, muddy winter. We celebrated by tromping through a bit of horse pasture to see our pair of local runestones. It turned out to be a good time to see
U 897 (pictured, on the right): the light dusting of snow was enough to bring out its rather faded lines but not enough to make the field impassable. In the summer, the stone is covered in dense vegetation; in the spring and autumn, the pasture is treacherously muddy.
Coincidentally, just yesterday morning I wrote up a bit on the
other runestone in this same field.
Wow, I love the background! I didn't realize your blog's wallpaper was part of a runestone (or not technically~~). Happy 2012!
