Friday Cemetery Blogging

I love cemetery fences.

I need a big, slightly decrepit, Victorian house surrounded by cemetery fence.

I have a small bit of garden in my front yard that has bits and pieces of cemetry-type fence around it. I put lots of crosses in the garden in an attempt to make it feel cemetery-ish. Instead, it just looks like we are overly-religious.

BAHAHA I'm getting a picture of the overly religious yard.
heh.
I drove by a huge gigantic cemetary the other day and thought of you. There's a cemetary up the street from me a ways who's retaining wall caved out this winter. They say no dead bodies came tumbling out but it is a hundreds of years old stone wall holding up a big hill and it's a little weird because they've not gotten around to repairing it for months. I guess they maybe have to wait for spring thaw?
Anyway, an exploding cemetary is something I'd never heard of.

An exploding cemetery? That definitely takes the cake!

I do believe that the flamingo's add a religious touch to your home.

I don't see the flamingos but the fence looks nice. And I don't see the crosses, either. And isn't that a monument in the first picture that says "mother"? Is that really your yard?...I'm confused.

I want a picture of your overly religious yard.

Annie - I wish these were pictures of my yard. Nope, they are actual cemetery fences. My overly-religoius flower bed looks terribly uncemetery-like.

PPB - When the tulips bloom I'll post a photo. Right now it does have a lot in common with a cemetery in that everything in it dead. ha!

A fence like that would look good around my house. I have an old victorian. Hmmm.....maybe there is a home improvement project in my future.

Oh, my house is definately decrepit. And probably most people would think it's big. 14 foot ceilings, about 13 rooms (2 livingrooms, who needs 2 living rooms?), a big attic full of crap, a smelly basement that floods every spring, a 125 year old heating system (still works good, though), flowers in the garden nobody recognizes (Japanese kerria?). Gee, maybe I should post about my house!

I'd love to see it, Patti!

I go back to Tallinn again in March. I'm hoping DD can come to see me for the weekend. She asked me "Mum do I have to sleep in the cemetary?" meaning seminary and wondered why me and my friend howled with laughter.

I've no idea where the cemetary is in Tallinn - but now I want to check it out :)

PS I'm not sure DD can visit. She needs to be 18 to come on the ferry alone - and so I need to find someone to bring her, which wasn't really what I had in mind.
