Apologies Required.

I have been crazy busy. Life has not slowed down one bit- but with cooler weather settling in and the garden chores stopping for the season- I will be able to dedicate more time here on the blog/website. I've been feeling as if I've been neglecting it- the website. I've been updating it as I can, and I know I haven't written a blog since July. Like I said- cooler weather means less outside distractions. Right up until they start installing our new furnace- as the old basement beast has puffed it's last burp of smoke from the chimney. Stress? What stress?? Lol.

So, until I finish writing the most epic of blogs dedicated to the gardening/homesteading bloom this year, settle in for a walk through a few of my favorite cemeteries, here on this day before Halloween.
​

The places in the photographs here are Forest Home Cemetery, Greenville, MI. Graceland Memorial Garden, Cascade, MI. And where all deceased members of my line rest- Maplewood Cemetery, Lamont, MI.

I have always loved wandering the completely mapped out and grid like beauty of cemeteries, They are quiet, filled with nature and still hold structure in their lines of granite memories of people long since past. There is a calm that settles into my body when I visit those that may not have had visitors for decades if not longer. I feel like my being there- dusting off name plates, or tidying flowers, even snapping a quick memory of my own with my camera, may ease troubled souls that may not be visible to the eye.
