There's another foot of snow in the high country, and it tried to snow in the city today. But I'm here, refusing to accept winter. :)

Dunno, found the brush-like refuse interesting, stopped to photograph it. Stood out among the various wrappers and styrofoam coffee cups.
I repeatedly asked a passer by if he was interested in having his caricature done, but he refused to be drawn...
Some Legends refuse to Die
Axe Murder Hollow is located in an area of Thomas Road between Sterrettania Road and California Drive, by the old Weiss library, than at the bottom of the first big dip you will find the hollow. There you'll find the burned out foundations of a small home. (Not anymore, though. We've been told that plot was the last site sold in the housing project that's sprung up in the area.)
A rock path from there will lead you to a creek with a tree stump near its' bank.
A jealous husband who suspected his wife of cheating on him with a farmhand chased her down that path and beheaded her with an axe on that stump. Then man went crazy and taking the axe, killed his entire family. Burying the bodies, never to be found, it is said that the man grew old alone with nothing but the continuous haunting from the spirits of his daughter and wife who visited him regularly to torment him. One cold dark night he could take no more and began running through the house after the ghosts of the 2 females, chasing them again with an axe, screaming and going wild. As he ran out the back door of the house he had forgotten in the haste that the edge of the cliff was just feet from the door itself, falling to his death. While they found the body of the man, mangled and chopped with the axe that was laying beside him, they never found the bodies of the young girl and her mother.
Some versions of the story say that the young girl was murdered by her father because she had put the family to shame ,marrying a young man whom her father did not approve of. Because the mother sided with her, she secretly sewed the girls wedding gown for her big day and the father came in while the girl was getting the finishing touches applied by her mother. The father, in a fit of rage, said that he would not tolerate his daughter marrying this man and chased after them, killing them.
It is said that the young girl roams, still in her gown, looking for her lost love while the mother roams about moaning and crying at the loss and horror brought upon them from her own husband.
All though some who have grown up in the area claim they have never witnessed anything unusual, or even have claimed to have spooked curious onlookers by throwing stone from the shadows, I know of at least one resident whose dog refused to enter the hollow, shaking and cringing whenever they came close to the old foundations, or the stump.
During Halloween and the weeks before, they actually post police around the area because there are so many people that pull off the side of the road looking for the area, the house (what's left of it) and hoping to glimpse the ghosts. Others have simply done nothing more than pull over to the side of the road, turning off their car when they hear running through the woods and a woman scream. Most who have heard the screams don't have the gumption to go further into the woods and those that have, have never come out.
(As in all Legends, there is an element of truth to the story. In the late 1940’s a man did go insane and wipe out his entire family with an ax. He spent the rest of his days incarcerated in an asylum.)
While the stories and versions of Axe Murder Hollow are probably as different as the number of people investigating the area each year, you can be sure of one thing..... on a foggy night even the most non-believing of investigators seems to get the chills and end up chickening out before they get very deep into the forest

Jeanne Boitel (1904-1987) was a French film actress, who was a star in the 1930s. She refused to act in films during the Occupation and distinguished herself in the Resistance during World War II, using the surname of Mozart. She met Jacques Jaujard during her resistance activities in the war and married him.
Jeanne Marie Andrée Boitel was born in Paris in 1904. Boitel had a passion for the theatre - she was on stage from the age of 19 - and studied at the Paris Conservatoire, graduating in 1924. After a fine start in her career as a stage actress, her beauty and singing talent were discovered by film directors. She made her first film in Berlin, Le petit écart/The small gap (1932), co-directed by Henri Chomette, René Clair's older brother, and the German actor and filmmaker Reinhold Schünzel. Her partner was Pierre Richard-Willm, whom she reunited with in Un soir au front/One Evening at the Front (Alexandre Ryder, 1931) based on the play by Belgian playwright Henri Kistemaeckers. She played a young woman in Alsace, still annexed to the German Empire, who saves and loves a French officer but remains faithful to her German husband. That same year, she starred opposite Victor Francen, the loyal servant of the Duke of Reichstadt, in L'aiglon/The Eagle (Victor Tourjansky, 1931) written by Edmond Rostand. She ended the year with boulevard comedies, including L'amoureuse aventure/Amorous Adventure (Wilhelm Thiele, 1931) starring Albert Préjean. The year 1932 remained just as active with Chotard et Cie/Chotard and Company (Jean Renoir', 1934), in which Fernand Charpin prevents his daughter's marriage to a budding writer, and Trois pour cent/Three per cent (Jean Dréville, 1934), in which the parents of a poor young man prevent his marriage to a rich girl! She reunited with Reinhold Schünzel in Berlin for Les dieux s'amusent/The gods at play (Reinhold Schünzel, Albert Valentin, 1934), a musical based on Greek mythology, in which Jeanne was a very pretty Alcmène, wife of Amphitryon, alias Henri Garat. She was also very convincing as Madame de Pompadour in Sacha Guitry's Remontons les Champs-Élysées/Let's Go Up the Champs-Élysées (1938). During the 1930s, she made around thirty films and worked with some of the biggest names in French cinema. Her natural distinction destined her - and confined her - to the role of a refined grande dame.
After the Occupation, Jeanne Boitel refused to compromise with the Germans, who controlled all cinema from 1940 to 1944, and returned to her original passion for theatre while working for the Resistance. Through her involvement in the Resistance, she met Jacques Jaujard, curator of the Louvre Museum. Under the code name of "Mozart", she was sent to him to inventory and discuss the fate of the works he had hidden. They fell in love and married after the war, following Jaujard's divorce. After the war, Jeanne Boitel became a Sociétaire of the Comédie-Française. She considered herself too old to resume her film career where she had left off. She remained at the Comédie Française from 1948 to 1973. In 1954, she made a modest return to the cinema for Sacha Guitry. He had directed her in Remontons les Champs-Élysées before the war and had fond memories of her. He courted her and finally persuaded her to take the part of Madame de Sévigné in the film Si Versailles m'était conté (Sacha Guitry, 1953), followed by roles as the Duchesse de Dino in Napoléon (Sacha Guitry, 1954) with Raymond Pellegrin in the title role, before playing Sarah Bernhardt in Si Paris m'était conté (Sacha Guitry, 1955). Her last screen appearance was as Madame Maigre in Maigret Tend un piège (Jean Delannoy, 1957), alongside Jean Gabin as George Simenon's famous police detective. This role brought her lasting fame, as for a long time she was the only Madame Maigret in cinema. After one last small role in the television series Le neveu d'Amérique (1973), she retired from acting at the age of 70. Her courage during the Resistance earned her the Croix de Guerre, the Rosette de la Résistance and the Légion d'Honneur. Jeanne Boitel passed away in 1987 in her hometown Paris at the age of 83. She had a son with Jacques Jaujard, François-Xavier Jaujard (1946-1996), a translator and publisher.
