St. Patrick's Day dawned bright and sunny. After all the rain we have had, it was nice to have a spring day. After working some in the yard at the rectory, I was returning the tools to the church when I received a delightful blessing. As I was walking along in the parking lot with a shovel over one shoulder and a bag of trash in the other hand, Steve Lefebvre drove up with a truck load of supplies for the garden. "You look all ready to help with the planting", he said. And so I was reminded that they were trying to plant potatoes before the rain returned later in the week. What a joy to help plant 4 rows of potatoes! There is a special blessing in working with the soil and growing a garden. I was tickled at planting taters on the holy day.... my inner leprechaun was dancing a jig.
As the spring comes, we will be planting many crops over the next few weeks. Please join us on Saturday mornings starting around 9am. Many graces await!
