Cemetery hopping

Today was a beautiful day weather wise.  The sun was out, low humidity and few clouds.  The perfect summer day.  I have been getting anxious to continue my photographs at the local cemeteries since I have found more ancestors.  Looks like the perfect day to do it.  After supper is a good time.   I went to the first one, took lots of pictures.  I take the puppy with me - certainly not for protection, but for company.  She stays in the car as I write the information down then jump out to take the pictures and make sure the info I wrote is correct.  Then I jump back in the car.  There are lots of mosquitoes out!  Upon arriving at the next cemetery, I had to pack up all my items and carry them in.  It's not big and you must walk it.  I found the stones I was after really quick, took the info and pictures and kept walking.  The bugs were twice as bad and that is with bug spray on!  I was checking out a fallen stone and found it to be one I was researching.  I did a quick picture of that one.  Okay, I am done and proceeded to walk to the gate.  The grass needs a cutting, but still makes a quiet place to walk.  All of a sudden it got cold!  Oh no!  What is going on.  I heard footsteps on leaves that aren't there!  The hair on my arms stood up.  Now I do believe in ghosts and I didn't stay around to find out who or why.  I must return.  Stay tuned......
