Love this walk @lyndsaybowes! I used to take my boys and wander through graveyards all the time; like yours, they were very respectful of the whole experience. I love the look on Stryder's face too!
Same. Death. It's a part of life. Period. I grew up in a big European family, and went to funerals as often as weddings it seemed, but all of that made it normal and not scary at all. It's a great way to be; I think you're doing your kids a favor actually.
I'm with you on the fact that humans need to do and quit asking God (whoever that is to each of us) to fix the mess we're in. My mother always said, 'you made your bed, now lie in it or change it'. It used to drive me crazy, but now I totally get it :)
Sorry I haven't been around lately; I've got to check my ginabot settings again because I was beginning to think something was wrong with you for not posting lately lol
Great news about @fulltimegeek running as witness too. Speaking of doing and not just complaining right?! :)

Love the walk and message today, Lyndsay. Love Stryder's reflection. Pretty cool effect. Cemeteries are peaceful places. You are right. The Creator expects us to step up to the plate and do our bit to fix things instead of always calling on Him to do it for us.

That flower is a honeysuckle and I can't believe it's blooming this time of the year! I have a different variety that grows all over the place at Toad Hall and makes late Spring early Summer smell like Heaven.
I planted a new variety on my pergola I made this Spring and it is that exact colour of the one you show, only thing was it had no scent when it bloomed :( Oh well.
Have fun with your chalk.

It was all by itself, a real late bloomer! I'm going to go back to smell it, I can't believe I didn't smell it...

I love graveyards. I always have. Even my favorite park, which was my favorite park before I ever knew this, used to be a graveyard! They moved all the bodies across town to a different cemetery and made it a city park. Once I learned that, I was like, OH, that's why I like it there so much. They're just so peaceful to me. Everyone else thinks that park is haunted, and I think if it is, they're friendly! :)
I totally agree with and love your messages. Thank you for getting out there and spreading the truth and love. <3

Do you know about The City Of The Dead in Paris? Basically, Paris cemetaries (18th or 19th century) were so full, bodies were buried stacked on top of each other and people whose houses were next door had BODIES FALLING THROUGH THEIR BASEMENT WALLS and if it rained too hard bodies would float up because they weren't deep enough anymore. So, there are all these old tunnels under Paris from Roman times when they quarried the limestone right there and built with it (this is why in parts of Paris they cannot build any higher or the ground wouldn't support it and the buildings would cave in). So they dug up the bodies and put them in the tunnels. But they didn't just move them and line them up or make neat piles (because so many of the bones were not attached anymore and it was impossible to know who was who) ...they FUCKING MADE ART WITH THEM.
Those walls are made with human bones.

Are they called 'catacombs'? I've read about them in fantasy novels before. That's incredible!!!!

While I believe in miracles and divine intervention, I also believe that part of the mortal experience is to learn. That can include solving our own problems and understanding the universe around us.
God, or whatever you believe in, is already past that stage and beyond.

I always love reflections in photography so that one with the tombstone was fantastic!
Great job of raising your kids right!
Makes me wonder what the backstory is on J. B....

Good to see your sons have respect for those graves. I’m also sure they appreciate the visit!
It’s colder than all hell here. Went to the Bombers-Eskimos game last night. By the time I got home, it was around 0.
I have the feeling it’s going to be a long winter here.

Me anotó para #walkwithme contigo @lyndsaybowes. De solo pensar que puedo recorrer esos lugares que nos muestras, incluso hasta el Cementerio seria un placer que hermosa Naturaleza tienen allá en Nueva Escocia, Canadá. Saludos y Feliz Domingo

I believe I was taught this and it makes sense to me. God helps those who help themselves. I have learned how to put this into perspective.

Hard work is what it will take to turn this world around.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I dont know how much of the world can turn around, it is a big world. When we look after each other and make small differences far and wide and then notice the difference and when we bring strangers closer and look after those who have less and give love and respect and take small measures to look after our planet, even in our yard, or on our street. Well then we have made the world a better place and we have turned something around. x Fixing the world fucked up world, takes a lot more effort from a whole lot of more people.
