31st MAY: HIGHGATE, LONDON. This is the only known grave that has a sleeping angel on it. The angel is asleep on a cloud.
Dear readers, this post is a bit on the educational side since i'd like to show you one of the more famous tombs at the Staglieno Cemetery...
Tomba Famiglia Ribaudo Love will take us apart - Joy Division When the routine bites hard And ambitions are low And the resentment rides high But emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways Taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again Why is the bedroom so cold Turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed Our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives Love, love will tear us apart again Do you cry out in your sleep All my failings exposed Get a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more? When love, love will tear us apart again
A day walking around BCN's biggest cementery, well worth checking out.
I think this is one of my all-time favorite cemetery statues. Is that despair or mourning or regret I see? Someone said they thought she was praying. I wish I'd had more time to spend with her. She might have had something to say to me, and I to her.
While cemeteries are often only visited after a loved one has passed, they also serve as important places to mourn. One very famous cemetery that is
I brought Kathleen and three of her friends up to Lake George to Six Flags Great Escape yesterday. She had a great idea for me: Instead of me paying $40 to go into the park and park my butt somewhere to read for 9 hours, why didn't I just drop them off and go DO something?! Well, I thought that was a swell idea, so I dropped them off--two girls, two boys, all 15 yrs old (but NOT a double-date or anything like that!)--and I went cruising! I had to go back down to Saratoga Springs to drop off some cushions and bedskirts for a customer, so while I was down there, I pulled into Yaddo Gardens, which I haven't visited in a few years. There were koi fish in the large center fountain! This picture was rather foggy, so I went with it, and put it behind this awesome glassy water texture. Cool, right?: Ooops....photos are out of order....this pic is the view from my chair at Moreau Lake State Park, where I spent the majority of my day reading books and leafing through decor magazines. It was within 15 minutes or so of the park, in case the kids needed me, and it was cool and peaceful in the shade of the trees, with my water view: There were lots of pretty things to take pictures of at Yaddo: These girls were there for a photo shoot of some sort. They looked so cute in their little white dresses, I couldn't resist sneaking a shot: This pergola was striking...so long and pretty! ...and I made it spooky with a texture from Shadowhouse Creations! There were four of these statues at the perimeter of the rose garden: This one was in the center of a quatrefoil shaped fountain at the beginning of the garden, and I played with three textures, and posted them all for you! Click to enlarge any of these pics...you can see the differences better that way: That's it for today! I'm going to the movies in a few hours with my friends, and then hopefully out for a nice cool beverage and some girl talk afterwards. In the mean time, I've got sewing to do up in my sweatshop! ;) Have I ever shown my sweatshop to my bloggy buddies? I don't think so. Well, it's due for a big time makeover, so maybe I'll add that to my list for the summer/fall.

Remember Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
