Love this post!<br /><br />It was 98 degrees yesterday and when I stepped out of the house I went "Oh, it isn't hot!" :-) There was quite a brisk wind, high humidity with some sprinkles now and then, and overcast. No baking sun! I was so happy! Hope you have a wonderful day!A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-67766859412958079202016-06-17T13:23:45.677-04:002016-06-17T13:23:45.677-04:00it looks like an old quiet spot, perhaps a cemeter...it looks like an old quiet spot, perhaps a cemetery not visited by many!! if you are going to be buried, this looks like a great place, i would want lots of trees!!!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823369215793154260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-27310750335206052852016-06-17T02:51:55.369-04:002016-06-17T02:51:55.369-04:00A graveyard in the forest - the best place for the...A graveyard in the forest - the best place for the ancestors...Maschahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551663590430844725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-67382732652949964982016-06-16T20:58:02.219-04:002016-06-16T20:58:02.219-04:00I always enjoy old cemeteries.
