This part is this contraption is supposed to be used for more personal entries, perhaps it is time that I should use it.

Today was All Souls' Day. Tis the first time since my childhood that I had followed the customs for it. Rosalee had no proper grave since she was burned, but Julia and I had made a small memorial for her. We had also made one for Issac. I thought I would be sadden by the whole act, but somehow I feel more a peace.

Some of the traditions of this day still seem somewhat odd to me. Julia insisted on leaving food out for the departed souls. Though I imagine that animals that live in these mountains will be more interested in food then the souls.

The holiday has become a little less about souls and a little more about candy over time.

Who was Rosalee?

I must confess, I have always wondered why material possessions are offered to the departed. After all, if they could effect the material world, death would mean nothing.
