Toni, I agree, it is interesting thinking of these bygone eras, I also love old houses and barns and love to think of the once thriving farms that once were.

And I love to visit graveyards too, especially my grandparents' on a little hill (at the top of their once thriving tiny burough of maybe 400 people) back in PA. The town was once filled with neighbors who knew and depended on one another, of lives lived out simply but richly in faith and frugality. None of those once deep connections still exist back there, so the graveyard represents a bygone era in which my grandparents' entire lives were lived out. I get similar emotional stirrings from abandoned homes and/or "ghost" towns.

There's something about looking at old tombstones that gives perspective to the brevity of life. Wonderful photos! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog and for leaving such a sweet comment about our muffin recipes. :)<br /><br />Many blessings, ~LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760735212107263086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059561141951442196.post-18065613923398045162011-10-25T06:56:32.911-07:002011-10-25T06:56:32.911-07:00What an amazing cemetery.

I love it when I learn more about my Mom and Grandma's history. Yes, Watcher in the Woods did have Bette Davis in it, she plays her character very well. Hope you have a nice week :)April's Homemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839044050318217592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059561141951442196.post-83245328449077185302011-10-24T20:21:08.709-07:002011-10-24T20:21:08.709-07:00We used to live next door to the cemetery and spen...We used to live next door to the cemetery and spent many evenings walking in it. It's kind of strange, but it was the time we learned the most about my mother, so I have happy memories connected to that old cemetery. She really opened up and talked about her past, looking at the headstones of her mother who died when she was a girl and her baby brother. I remember Watcher in the Woods. or I think I do.

We should all work harder to live more fulfilled, and cast off all the distractions we can get mired in. You're a great photographer. The pioneer cemetary and the panda bear were very photogenic too. Have a great week.Farmgirl Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550237327556460565noreply@blogger.com
