Is it us who are weird or the rest of the world?

Once my husband and I were walking on a cemetery...

I never get to finish this phrase: some starting falling on the ground laughing, some are gasping, some are having a heart attack.

and I can never understand what's wrong with walking at cemeteries in general. I am not particularly morbid, and I am not searching for cemeteries to walk there, but seriously? Why not to walk there if it's close to home, quiet, beautiful, and provides a more pleasant walk to the supermarket than the busy street? But, you know, some people are even getting concerned about the baby... ::insert the eye roll::

Anyway, I walked at many cemeteries throughout my childhood, and I am still quite sane. :)

By the way, once my husband and I were walking on a cemetery and we saw a family of large animals (probably groundhogs) looking for food among the graves. They looked very amusing.

I like walking through cemeteries. They're very peaceful, with often beautiful stonework, and reading the epitaphs is a bit of history.

We had a very old little cemetery behind our house, and sometimes we'd picnic there.

I don't see the epitaphs there much (I am talking about Mount Pleasant cemetery here), but I do love looking at names and imagine the people and their lives..
