After commenting last week that I didn't see much street art in this area guess what I stumbled across:
Isn't this great? It's at the Yellow Deli in Hiddenite, NC and painted around an actual water wheel that's running. The food is both healthy and delicious. It is run by a co-operative society: The Yellow Deli People/Twelve Tribes of Israel and is open from Sunday at noon till Friday at three. Whether one is in agreement with their beliefs or not the food is good and the ambience is warm and inviting.
After lunch, a friend and I went hiking at Rocky Face Mountain Recreational Area, in Alexander County, another fun find. You can do moderate to strenuous trails or just do a simple walk at the base. The weather cooperated with us on our outing. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time.

And...
Wishing you a Happy Halloween a day early. I'll be off line for a few days. My little grandson is having surgery tomorrow. Positive energy, good thoughts and prayers are appreciated. For those of you who have all ready sent good wishes or lit a candle, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hi Sandra .. lovely piece of street art... and it looks a fun trail to walk. I do hope all goes well for your grandson - here's to peaceful healing ... with thoughts - Hilary
The street art is fabulous. So glad you stumbled on it. I will keep your grandson in my thoughts and prayers as he has this surgery. We'll be here when you return, dear.
That is great art indeed. Sounds like a fun day. Hopefully the surgery goes well for him.
Interesting place. You didn't actually say which walk you did. Perhaps not the strenuous one. Many good thoughts for your grandchild's surgery.
I hope the surgery goes well!
Hope the surgery goes well.
And those are some pretty pictures.

Sending healing prayers and a gentle Big Hug!!!
The place you went to, with your friend, is gorgeous!! Truly love the street art and the nature!! Happy Halloween! Keep being you! You are special!
You already know that I would be walking along the base and NOT doing the hiking piece(lol), but glad you had such a good time. It always amazes me that I live in NC, but get surprised about these other cities that I've never heard of. That painting looks so lovely! Prayers to your grandson and the family. Both you you ladies look so beautiful. Hugs...RO
First, I send prayers and good thoughts to your grandson and the whole family. I know he will be aok and I will look forward to hearing how he is doing( and you and his parents). I love that first picture...amazing painting because I didn’t know where it started and what was real and what was painted. Your hike looks like it was a good one
Happy Halloween to you and your grandson Sandra 🎃👻🎃
I hope that your grandson's surgery has been done by now and that he is now on his way to a full and speedy recovery 🍁💮🍂

Happy Halloween
All the best Jan
Wow, SUCH beauty! Aww...my thoughts are definitely with your little grandson.
Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.
Hope the surgery went well. Happy Halloween. That looks like a wonderful place to hike.
Sending prayers and good thoughts for that little one. I hope all is well.
You make me anxious to get out and get physical. If only there were awesome places like that to hike around here. I mean, there are hiking trails that end at lakes, but nothing elevated with a view. The kids would love that--especially now that it's cool enough to enjoy the outdoors.
P.S. I nominated you for an award in September, then failed to get out and say something. LOL. Life, eh?
Best of everything to the little one.
That's some pretty country you got to hike in. The outdoors is good medicine.
Thinking positive thoughts for your grandson--surgery is never fun!
And those photos are great. Glad you had such a fun time!
Sending positive energy to your grandson.
Looks like you had a beautiful walk and lunch. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hi Hilary, It was a fun trail and the mural was awesome.
He came through the surgery with flying colors. Thanks so much.
I enjoyed the art too. The water wheel and table and chairs just blended right in.
Thank you so much for your good thoughts, my friend.
It was a fun day, Pat. And the surgery did indeed go well.
What a relief.
Thanks:)
Hi Andrew, No not the strenuous:) It's more rock climbing.
We did the moderate with several laps around the easy.
Thank you for the good thoughts. They came in handy.
Thank you so much Misha, appreciated. It did go well:)

It's just kind of out in the middle of nowhere. I had no idea it existed. It is a lovely spot.
Have a great weekend.

The surgery was a success.

Thank you. Lots of fun experiences that day.
We took the little girl Trick R Treating, which was fun.

NC has all sorts of hidden treasurers, doesn't it, Ro?
The mural was awesome.
Thank you for the prayers and the lovely compliment.
Hugs back,
Thanks for the check in, Stacy. Much appreciated.
Hugs back,
I'm honestly kind of jealous. Where I'm at, there's so much urbanization I have to drive for an hour to really find ANYWHERE secluded and then another hour or two to truly be away from people. The flipside is, should I head up to LA, they have all sorts of awesome street art. I'll share if I remember to take pictures the next time I'm up there.
Thank you so much, Ro. They did the trick.
Hugs back,
Thank you. Sounds perfect, Rockin Ro.
Hugs back,
Thank you for the prayers and good thoughts, Birgit. They came in handy:)
The mural was really well done. You could almost feel the sunshine. And yes, the hike was a good one.
Thanks for the good thoughts, Heather. You're right. It's never fun.
Glad you enjoyed the photos:)
Thank you, Jess. It did the trick:)
The lunch and walk was much enjoyed.
Didn't the artist do a wonderful job, Lee?
Thanks, Jeanie:)
Glad you liked the art.
Thank you, Mandy. Your good wishes were much appreciated.
I'm not an urban girl. There's too much cement for me. I needs lots of green and growing things.
I had meant to add good surgery wishes here and when I re-read this after your other, realized I didn't. So glad things went well.
Thank you, Jeanie;)
