Monday, Monday.

I've been walking at a local Municipal Park lately. I like the track that runs around the whole thing.. There's something that appeals to me about knowing just how far I am walking.

There is also a tennis court there, which has been a nice halfway point for my friend and I to meet and play a bit.
Next to the park is a cemetary. I walked into it a bit last week. It is so peaceful and charming.
Lots of old trees and even more OLD headstones!





Many are very detailed like this one.

The road through the cemetary is not paved. These trees are absolutely magnificent!

The older headstones are in bad condition. Many have the carvings worn right off them.

and some have fallen over.

This headstone caught my eye. this guy was only 18 when he passed away.

there are a few angels and other assorted obilisks and dual-tower-like markers/statues.

This angel is one of two side by side. Two young girls a couple of years apart, both dying on the same day. Maybe a car accident...... the graves are under the most beautiful locust tree.

haha... here are my train pictures. (backwards, of course...)

More cemetary. ....

this is one of the larger markers in the cemetary.

This picture reminded me of Stonehenge!

And this is the skeleton of a very large bird's nest. It is about the size of a dinner plate.

Very cool!!!

Saturday

I do not know where this past month has gone!
After we got done with the yardwork today, I decided to finally take pictures of the flowers.
They are so beautiful this year! So here is a view from the road.......
(the driveway will be replaced with a new cement driveway soon..)

I love the Hydrangeas!!!!!!

and under the tree..... My Mom made those deer in ceramics.

ahhhhh....

We decided to leave the Greek Festival till tomorrow and headed out to Skaneateles today.

It started to rain, and was gloomy, but nothing can make Skaneateles look gloomy!!! It is so beautiful there.

Such a charming place. We try to get here a couple of times a year.

the hazy lake. One lone saiboat way out.

After we looked through the shops and walked out near the lake, we headed to Anyela's Vinyard. We've been there before, and like the atmosphere there.

Some band called Elephant Shoes was playing. Two men who played mostly guitar-laden pop songs, but were very funny and got everyone going.

In this field they always plant sunflowers.. In the fall we take a picture.

I have gotten so much sun lately, I keep getting burned and getting over it.

I'm not used to not being pale!!!!!
