Jim, on the left, and Bev Haney always have an eclectic group of very serious pickers.

I went at the beginning of the jam because I needed to leave early.

They will probably still be fiddlin’ until midnight!

I manned the booth for Art for the Mountain Community

and this little guy happily posed for me after just leaving

the face-painting booth. The temperature was so high

that the paint was already dripping off his face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

How much can we ever know about the love and pain in another heart?

How much can we hope to understand those who have suffered deeper anguish, greater deprivation, and more crushing disappointments than we ourselves have known?

~ Orhan Pamuk

*  Gustav Klimt was born 150 years ago last week.

 



The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd;
and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
