Cemeteries

While we were on our semi-getaway this old cemetery caught my eye. I think what I found interesting is the location....right smack dab in the heart of Rheinbeck. In fact, a parking lot somewhat surrounds it. A lot of the grave sites are in bad shape....but interesting nonetheless! I love cemeteries, I find them very calming. When I was much, much younger I would go to our local, beautiful cemetery, sit under a tree and study. It was beautiful due to the location...on a cliff of sorts with a river flowing by. Plus, my "peoples" were right there.... I use to think the branches of the old trees were arms protecting me.............Of course when it started to get dark the chicken factor crept in.....

My new .....old diner

Ahhhhhh.....memories of a new, albeit old diner.....

Please forgive me, but the collective, we "par-take-ified" (your new word for the day) in our food....then took pictures of the after...........it was soooooo good! The biscuits were homemade, then they put those calorie ridden babies on a grill......come to Mama......I left a few bites......didn't want to look too pigified! (another new word for the day)......

If you ever go through Red Hook, New York please you must eat at this diner ....just remember to forget your diet!

The end of wool, sheep, animals..etc...for now

This is a picture of my "dawling"... I made him carry the wool. He was getting sick of the place....can't you tell? I also had to click a picture of the farm sign from Virginia. Although he was pleasantly surprised he still would rather go fly fishing....his analogy is...."Lindy when you take me on these adventures I go, but how would you like to go shop in a fishing store for hours on end?" I always say, "No Problem." Can we buy more wool? Thus, the face of disgust......

Sheep with a story to tell

1. There is a story line here
2. The sheep with the coats....they were getting ready for a breakout
3. The lone goat pen.....the leader was in there
4. The sheep (God-des) was trying to pop out a pink egg
5. The sheep pointing his hove at the green coat guy was debating in his small brain...maybe I should use him as a type of ladder and just jump out? Then what do I do?
6. The bi-color sheep were just fed up and wanted to be left alone!
   

The rheinbeck's sheepies........some with the wool and

and some without their wool. We had all different types to see and touch. I felt sorry for this one..........(click on the pictures they will enlarge)

These naked sheep were embarrassed...don't look at them!

This ole sheepie preferred to turn away from my camera. Sleep was on her mind.
click this....
This particular sheep animal wanted me to come closer. She had an urgent message, it was my secret to keep under wraps.

And still more, when will it end?

I apparently decided to take a picture of my shoe vs the floor? I did take a picture of the Peruvian band that magically appears at all festivals. More llamas for all to enjoy...the spotted one would kiss you.....but only if he liked you.....he did not like me or the daughter....we were ignored....very sad.......They did have the horsey's take you all around the fair grounds....

and some more....llamas

They seem to be giving me the hairy eyeball............
