Goodbye February Daybook
Outside my window My bulbs are starting to bloom. Our miniature irises have come and gone. The crocuses (the penitent’s rose) and hyacinths (lily-among-thorns) are blossoming. The daffodils (Mary’s star) have buds, and our tulips (Mary’s prayer) and Easter lily are sprouting. Our Lenten Roses are also in full bloom. I need to set aside…

Outside my window It’s mating season for the moles and they have been wreaking havoc in our backyard. Those patches of dirt in our lawn are mole mounds. I think that it might be time for our resident mole ranger to take care of the problem. I am wearing a black skirt and a Marian…
