finally here

I wanted a nice snowfall this year and it came.  I love it.   Took a walk out this morning and it felt good.

The shrub at the creek has ice on it's branches

Tomorrow  is Valentines day -  I found a coat hanger to shape into a heart and then pushed on the ribbon

til next time

Spring weather?

Love this Spring?    I took this about 6:45 or so right before it got dark.

Sure is pretty

Heck we have had snow in April before, maybe that will happen again.

My wish came true

I have been wishing for snow.   We woke this morning to thunder , looked out and saw the wind blowing in all directions with large flakes falling.   I got some pictures of course.

It's starting to ease up now.

I love snow and we got it.   This is a picture of my house around 4:30 on the 18th.

Looks like cotton candy on the boxwoods with the snow and colored lights under it.

Beautiful

Hollywood - Part three - The End

This is the last of the posting of Hollywood Cemetary. The Mausoleums and a few of the beautiful monuments to various persons laid to rest here. 

Mausoleums built into the side of the hill.

It has been said , they are haunted. 

There is a few stories floating around as to why and those stories  can be found if you do a search on the internet.

Beautiful stained glass in on of the mausoleums.

I was told by a visitor I met in the cemetary this day, that this stone monument  was a whisper wall.  

 I sat  on one end and Carolyn sat on the other,  my voice did carry to the other side .  We could carry on a conversation sitting on opposite ends;  speaking barely above a whisper.  I can't find anything that says this is what it is really called.
