Communal Anniversaries and a New Bike

by Raven

It’s that time of the year. Acorn’s Land Day (the day that they got the land) was April 1st and East Wind’s Land Day was May 1st. Acorn turned thirty-one and East Wind just hit the big five oh.

Here’s the online invite to East Wind’s celebration:

This did very, very well, earning sixteen likes, six loves, five comments, and a large two hundred and forty-eight views.

Acorn just turned thirty-one, and while that isn’t quite as exciting as turning fifty, they have been posting about it a lot. Or maybe Commune Life has been posting about it a lot.

Surprisingly, it didn’t do that well on FB–just six likes and ninety views. Maybe it was because the pictures were kind of wierd (which isn’t surprising for Acorn) especially for an anniversary celebration.

Much later in the week, I put up another Acorn post. I realize that it didn’t actually mention the anniversary but it featured a lot of the current Acorners, so I made it into one. (And, of course, their caption had nothing to do with the picture.)

But this one (probably because of the people in the picture) did very well, with seven likes, two loves, a care, three comments (a back and forth between former East Winder Cara and me about the age of the folks–at Acorn, TO, and EW), and a lovely two hundred and forty views. Best of the week.

Finally, Twin Oaks wanted to thank all the folks that have been supporting them since the fire and show off the new bike that was bought to replace the one destroyed in the fire.

This did pretty well, with nine likes, six loves, and over a hundred and fifty views. I’m just glad that things are going so well there in the aftermath of the fire and that they have a happy child with a new bike.
