Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Happy Samhain

 

Happy Samhain, or Halloween!




Witches tea party!


Black Mountain citizens gathered Oct. 29 for a candle light vigil to remember all that has been lost from the storm damage.








Rain didn't faze these folks!





 



Yes that's a chicken between pieces of bread! It's name is Soup.



Sarah Vekasi welcomes everyone to her pottery store.





Aleah Chapin - Artist, a painting of friends





Yes I snuck in some of my dear loved ones in their own costumes! Thanks again to the internet postings for many of these shots.



Today's quote;

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

      I didn't go to the ritual. But when Ilook at all these people, I don't see my friends at all. Wonder why. I know at least 2 who went, but they said they didn't see many friends either. It does look like a good idea though.

    ...I'm glad to see that the citizens of Black Mountain had a festive moment.

    What great costumes! Thd butterfly and the frogs are my favorites.
    That vigil, I can only imagine how emotional and yet how bonding that must have been.
    Have a wonderful Samhain, Barb!

      As I mentioned in last reply (which nobody reads anyway) I didn't go to the ceremony. I do think it was a good idea though.

    I trust yours went better than ours. Halloween was all but over by the time we got home in the rain.
