Mysterious Occult Buildings Near My Home

 

Mr. B and I walk past this mysterious building group often since it is near our house. I took these above photos at 8 p.m. The buildings were constructed in the 1940s and the builders moved away in the 1950s. Not much is known for sure about the buildings. The builders incorporated astrology, and there are symbols of the sun and the moon. The builders said that the symbols of the sun and moon will move to signal the beginnings of the end times. I am glad the buildings are preserved, they are on private property but easily seen from the sidewalk. 

I used the word "occult" in the title to this blog post so I looked up the meaning of the word "occult". 1. Of, or relating to, or dealing with supernatural or magical influences, agencies or occurrences. 2. Available only to the initiate, secret or mysterious. Synonym is "mysterious".

Above you can see the sun and the moon in the circle and the builders said the sun and the moon in the circle will shift positions signaling the end times. They studied astrology too. Should I check this frequently to see if they shift positions? Just kidding.

Above shows the nice iron work, inlays which may be of shell, and the brick work.

One of several tall spires on the site. I am happy the buildings and spires are preserved by the millionaires who bought it. They said they would build their home there and live there while preserving and protecting the site. The new owners sold it all for $4,000,000 a few years later, but I am sure it is written in the deed that the historic buildings must be preserved. 

On a side note think of the property taxes on a home that cost $4,000,000. In California I think the yearly property tax will be $40,000.

Photos I took of fog, sea, trees, fisherman near my home

 

I went out for tea with two friends at my favorite coffee shop and here are photos I took near my home in California. The above is my favorite as it shows the pretty wisps of fog on a sunny day. Do you see the fisherman and his umbrella? Below you can see him more clearly.

And two more photos, the first looking toward the boardwalk amusement park and wharf and the second is toward the direction of my house. I love the cooling wisps of fog; the fog photos I took at 9:45 a.m. before going inside to order tea and the sunny ones I took at 11 a.m. with the fog on the water pretty much all gone.

Chihuahuas, Kohlrabi, New Orchid, Cartoon, Friends and Family Meet During Covid

 

Bounce looks like the pup on the fourth step from the bottom, on the far left. I have been thinking about adopting a Chihuahua friend for Mr. B., and like the looks of long haired Chihuahuas. This photo has a wonderful diversity of pups, but no long haired ones.  When my energy level is high I am inspired to adopt a second dog, when my energy is low I think oh no, two dogs to walk and one person! Two to feed plus my cat, and take to the vet, and I am 77, so my age is a consideration. I am happy with my Bouncey so maybe he will remain my only pup. We shall see.

Who else likes kohlrabi? That and parsnips are two of my favorite root vegetables. I peeled these, sliced them, and ate them raw and sprinkled with salt. Delicious.

Above is my newest orchid, quite a splashy beauty. They are easy care if you have an east facing window. Just feed and water them every two weeks. Usually the flowers last six weeks so that is an economical way for me to keep flowers in my kitchen. I have 10 orchids which bloom at different times.

My sons and Bounce and I had fun recently, we met at my house and walked to a new favorite restaurant for dinner to celebrate my oldest son's birthday. We ate on their spacious covered deck and dogs are welcome. They have a limited menu with delicious food and this is our second visit there. 

Yesterday I had our bi-monthly Zoom meeting with two colleagues from the university. We are all retired now and keep up our tradition of meeting via Zoom and in person for lunches. Each Thursday I meet another friend for tea and a treat at my favorite coffee shop, the one on church grounds with a patio surrounded by huge gardens and a view of the ocean. Because of Covid we prefer to meet outdoors, whether for coffee or for lunch at restaurants with outdoor seating. How is your week going?
