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!
Two of the
fiddles Jim made this last winter.
Fiddlin’ is
SERIOUS business!!!
Fascinating.

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?

* 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.
