On Sunday morning Grindstaff Road was solid ice. The rain washed a lot of this off during the day. Don't know what the night holds. 

Homeward Bound

For decades, a small group of neighbors have been getting together more or less monthly in various places in Celo to sing the rich harmonies of the Sacred Harp shaped note hymnal. These days it happens at the Celo Friends Meeting. This is what it looks like when we sing Homeward Bound, but the other songs look pretty much the same.
