Oh my goodness, what a glorious day on so many levels! 'Hey Nineteen'
and I trotted off to make the yearly cemetery rounds this afternoon
under mild temps and abundant sunshine. The leaves are coming near
spectacular and soon I'll get the perfect pic of the valley walls all
ablaze! Ha! I say that every damn year... are ya sick of me yet? Don't
answer that!
I need to preface today's pics with a small story on my attraction and
aversion to cemeteries. I've never been afraid of them... I adore them,
as you could well understand. Nana drug me about every year tending
graves for half the people in the valley, I swear! Even my mother's
grave never caused anguish or sorrow. But I never ever felt she was
there. Oddly enough I don't usually feel anyone there *shrugs* When I
lost my soulmate, however, in the early summer of '95... I spent many a
day and night by his grave. I couldn't see through my grief that whole
summer. Late summer he came to me in a dream and told me, among other
things, to ditch the graveyard. They are not places for the living. I
haven't been back since. I still go yearly, about this time, to tend my
families graves for the winter. To leave my offering of love.
Ok... that's my story. Now for the pics!
These few are from the cemetery where my Mum and Nana are buried... and
if I'm not mistaken the last one does have a presence there. It was an
old 'keep' turned into kind of a caretaker shed and as we entered I
felt... someone(s). The pic shows two orbs! Cool...



This next set of photos is from an older local family burial ground... a very beautiful spot on a mountain just beyond the valley.



I had a lovely day and wish everyone the same with blessings and love... xxx ooo




Beautiful pictures and an equally beautiful story. You've earned your daily cornbread....
