New Hope Christian Cemetery (1889-1958)
Tucked away far out in the woods on North Dallas County, Plantersville Alabama sits a small cemetery New Hope Christian Cemetery.

One story about this cemetery...While taking our children almost 12 years ago for a country dirt road ride we stopped to take a look.While reading the head stones there was a old man standing in the corner of the cemetery.As we were walking out my son turned and said, "Where did that man go?" We looked all around and he was gone. There was no other car or homes for miles.Needless to say we got in the car and took off.We still talk about this as a family and how spooky that was. This photo was taken with my Grandson who is 4. I did not tell him the story about our adventure years ago, but maybe somewhere down the line he will read this on Grandma's Blog
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Plantersville Goats

Many times I have told you about our local goats.

While tending to my gardens they wait for the grass that I toss across the fence.

Why not a purse full of flowers?
