Annunciation update
Today is also Hambet’s third birthday in the Church: the anniversary of his baptism. Eric Johnson of Catholic Light has the picture I wanted, but couldn’t find. Karen Marie chose a very different picture for her Annunciation post at the Anchor Hold. Usually I don’t care for that style of art, but this one really… Continue reading Annunciation update

I filled them with some soil and compost and… now I… Continue reading Garden Journal
An intruder in the house
Last night my husband and I were slipping off into dreamland when we heard a weird noise. I looked at my husband with that “did you hear that?” look. He’d heard it too, and was sitting up in bed. We listened intently for a moment, and the noise came again. It was kind of a… Continue reading An intruder in the house
