Dust of Snow in Banner Elk, North Carolina

"Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost (1923)

The way a crow Shook down on me The dust of snow From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.

Fall in Banner Elk

The Elk

"Nature's first green is gold
It's hardest hue to hold
It's earliest leaf a flower
But only so, an hour
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank in grief
As dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay."
- Robert Frost

Westbend Vineyards Wine Tasting

A Sunday visit to Westbend Winery for a wine tasting hosted by Carolyn Huggins. Enjoyed touring the winery, learning how wine is made, and the wine tasting. What a beautiful fall day.

Acting Class

Winson-Salem Little Theatre Acting Class Showcase

"You don't know much, do you".

The scene for the showcase was from "Man From Nebraska by Tracey Letts."

Brian Carter -- Ken Carpenter, a 57-year-old insurance agent
Angela Hodges -- Nancy Carpenter, Ken’s wife of 30 years

This showcase scene takes place the morning after Ken awakens to the fact that he no longer believes in God. Nancy stands by confused and unable to relate to her husband's emotional torment.

Learned about acting and myself. Looking forward to the next class.

SOS Fall Migration

SOS Fall Migration - September 12-21

Relaxing and enjoying the ocean view at summer's end. Even though it was September very hot at Fun Monday standing in the street listening to the Craig Willard band and visiting with friends. Had a great time dancing, sunning on the beach, and meeting old and new friends. Looking forward to the SOS Spring Migration.
