There's a graveyard within walking distance from where I live.
Despite the name (graveyard sounds so chilly), it's a very beautiful, peaceful place. I've never been one to consider graveyards creepy. This one is big, full of trees and flowers, small lakes, rivulets, open spaces, and neat rows of beautifully decorated gravestones. And angels. On gravestones, on the side walk, in flower patches... they're impossible to miss. On days when it's sunny and warm, like today, I take a book with me, and read on one of the many benches there. Channelling my inner Anne Shirley of the Green Gables fame, if you may.
Isn't this angel beautiful?

ReplyDeleteI love me some Anne :). And there is a graveyard in my town that, everytime I pass it I think it would be a great place to take a walk. You have encouraged me to check it out sometime.
ReplyDeleteOhh, that graveyard would freak me out. I used to play in them as a child. Maybe that's why they freak me out as an adult. But this one looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love graveyards! They're so peaceful. And Anne of the Island is my favorite Anne-book. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind comment and for stopping by my blog!
I do think they are creepy, but I appreciate the attempt to make them beautiful. Bright flowers are a really nice touch!
ReplyDeleteSounds so peaceful and relaxing. I've never really thought of cemeteries as creepy either. This one sounds especially lovely.
