Peony’s Friday Five 1. If you had the chance to meet someone you’ve never met, from the past or present, who would it be? G.K.Chesterton. 2.

Our unjust economy Pansy, thanks for posting from Rerum Novarum. The Church’s social teaching is so rich, and so little known.

Well, (slapping forehead) maybe it was because her weather wasn’t changing! I see that today that the temperature at her place has finally cracked… Continue reading Pansy’s Weather Pixie Poor Pansy

Out of Sorts The day started off so well. I got my laundry sorted and the first load in with the crowing of the rooster. Oh, and I found some Schumann piano music available as a free download. Those were the high points of the day. Hambet has been clingy and whiny all day; he… Continue reading Out of Sorts The day
