Not a Crow

Not a Crow

Dear Readers,

One of the most beautiful things I’ve memorized is “A Liturgy for First Waking” from Every Moment Holy by Douglas McKelvey. I will never get tired of saying this prayer or hearing my children say it.

Dear Readers,

This is a first: I spent $3 today on one avocado. I already have a whole bowl of more reasonably-priced avocados on my kitchen counter but they are hard as rocks. I need an avocado for salads tonight and the Ingles near our house is reliable in that evidently no one else buys avocados there, which means I can always count on getting a good ripe avocado.

Dear Readers,

We lost another chicken this past Sunday while we were at church. I’m starting to think the crow is the devil and he knows it is Sunday. RIP Domino, White Leghorn, February 2020 flock, Gone too soon: June 5, 2022 . TJ somehow found more ways to secure the run on Sunday afternoon, and as of this writing, there are still five alive.

Dear Readers,

In happy news, Summer Break is here and we are off to a perfect beginning. We had a family lake day on Memorial Day with ice cream cones outside after dinner, followed by a very slow day at home yesterday that included starting a puzzle and finishing the book I was reading.
