Honey Harvest : Harrison & Heedy’s Honey

We harvested 100 lbs of honey this summer.

Very busy bees at Garden Gate.

NC Transportation Museum in Spencer NC

Visited this NC treasure with our Grandchildren.
The Museum feature this month was a ride on Thomas the Train. Thomas tours the US and appears annually in the fall in NC. The museum traces the importance of trains, cars, boats and farm trucks in the development of NC economy. Many of the exhibits are interactive and give children and adults opportunity to operate model trains, walk thru vintage train cars and experience a ride on a circular track changing station.
Truely , a fun and educational location for the whole family.

Scrapel Hill – Art Exhibit

My Grandson Harrison cannot get enough of the Art Contest + Exhibit in University Mall. Graham based artist, Steven Reinhart exhibits his project entitled Through a Wood.

One of Harrison’s favorite is this turtle done by Chapel Hill artist Jane Bergman entitled Eons of Evolution Destroyed in Decades.

Sculpture – Public

Art and Activism

One of the benefits of living in a college town is the exposure to an  abundance of interesting topics and issues always being addressed and studied.

Art can take on a roll of education and instigate activism and such an exhibit is currently on view on campus.

UNC’s Fed Ex Global Education Center is showcasing work of American Artist Mitch Lewis. The artist uses sculptures he has constructed from terracotta, bronze, resins and wires to bring our attention to the genocide  which occurred in Darfur Sudan from 2003-2006.

“Toward Greater Awareness” Darfur and American Activism is on display from October 17-December 17.

The exhibit is small but immensely powerful and thought provoking.  The sculptures  reflect  a dignity of the souls of the Sudanese people as their physical bodies are tortured brutilized and  mutilated.

ART with  A MESSAGE and humanitarian cry.

View it PLEASE.
