And I did find it touching that someone was making the effort to keep flowers on the graves in this one...not just on one or two graves but on all of them.<br /><br />I'd heard of the term, "the necessary," but those little buildings are more commonly called "outhouses." It was Sandy's post about Mt. Vernon that motivated me to use the other term for this one. It seems fitting. And I even used this particular "necessary" on a previous hike. Believe me, that name fit then! :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-31078134970445052442012-05-16T12:02:44.745-04:002012-05-16T12:02:44.745-04:00What a lovely spot and that cemetery with all it&#...What a lovely spot and that cemetery with all it's flowers is so endearing. Gotta love whomever placed those colourful remembrances there.<br /><br />I have only very recently heard the term "the necessary" for the first time. It was while visiting a Victorian tea house. That will be a future blog post, no doubt.<br /><br />Beautiful photos, my friend.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-23505758639133162412012-05-11T23:06:43.299-04:002012-05-11T23:06:43.299-04:00ZielonaMila - Thanks so much for the visit and for...ZielonaMila - Thanks so much for the visit and for the kind words.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-23890895331443400992012-05-11T12:46:56.233-04:002012-05-11T12:46:56.233-04:00Fantastic photographs, beautiful places.

It's a marvel what they were able to accomplish with simple tools.<br /><br />Betsy - The waterfall on Porters Creek trail can be missed if you don't know it's there and aren't watching for it. We nearly walked right by it the first time we went. It's about two miles up the trail and is worth a visit on a future hike.<br /><br />Blue Shell - Welcome, and thanks for visiting and commenting.

Not all of them are as well tended as this one, though.<br /><br />Stephen - It's amazing how quickly nature can take over a previously cultivated site when human intervention is removed.<br /><br />Theresa - Thanks.
