El Dia de Los Muertos







For the third year my library has an artscape (different each year) for the Day of the Dead created by a local and unbelievably talented family. (I loved the great pride of the sons when they told me that their parents were the artists). This holiday resonates with me for a number of reasons, and I imagine the celebrations in Mexico must be amazing, mythic and frightening and yet festive and vibrant with life. It's good to be reminded that we are in the wheel, turning, turning.

Cool! My niece had a Day of the Dead Theme wedding a couple of years ago. She wore a red silk dress with flowers in her hair and they invited people to bring pinatas.
