When me and my husband, Terry, were looking for a place
to build a house in 1996, land was pretty scarce in the small
town where we live. After weeks of searching we finally
found a nice lot close to town, but still in the country. The
only problem, for me at least, was that the lot had a cemetary
adjacent to it. I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to live next to
a cemetary. We continued to look for a place to build, but we
kept coming back to this particular lot. We finally decided to
buy it and build our house on it and I'm so glad we did!
The cemetary is so peaceful and is a great place
to take a walk, which we do on a daily basis. I took
these pictures of various angel and cherub figurines
and statues on one of my recent walks.
I enjoy collecting angel and cherub figurines!
A close friend of ours gave this to me after
my brother passed away. It's surrounded
by sunflowers which are my absolute favorite!

After days of subfreezing temperatures in Middle Tennessee, the ice and snow is finally starting to melt.
Our birdbath is still a mini skating rink.
I was starting to get cabin fever, so I ventured out to capture a few shots of what snow remains in our back yard.
Counting down the days until spring and planting our garden. I’ve missed working out in the yard.
Even the cherubs are ready for spring to get here
