If the blog seems to be moving slow these days, there's a reason: I'm not home much, at least until sometime in June. My spring tr...

Not having much to say at this point, I thought I'd just post some photos of the altar through the Triduum so far, Maundy Thursday throu...

I can only plead illness/low-energy for this photo from the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper this evening. I had positioned myself to get som...
