Winter in April

In a bit of a reversal from the usual weather patterns this winter, our exceptionally warm and mild winter roared back with a bitter bone-chilling wet wind today -- most unseasonal for April and more like November. Not too many trees were blown down and though my rural locale retained power without a glitch, another Washington state county lost electric power completely.

In any event, we made it to church (parking lot full of debris from our 150'+ windblown tall pine and cedar trees) for the Good Friday service.

The service itself, comprising the the first of the 3 hour vigil -- ran for almost the first hour, to my surprise. But I am still learning Fr. Davis' handling of our liturgies, and without going into details was well done.
