And here in Colorado we had a low of 28 this morning without any alerts because that’s … normal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I also got William White, but that’s the only one.

And trust me, these two need all the blessings we can get for them. 😹

I had the pleasure of spending the weekend at a Creation Care retreat. My presentation on the urban environment was well received, and I rediscovered a passion for this topic that I’d almost forgotten. The Diocese of Colorado’s camp & conference center isn’t a bad place to do something like this. ⚓️

🕯️ We had our annual Blessing of the Backpacks at Saint John’s Cathedral in Denver today. I don’t think the dean was quite expecting so many students, teachers, and staff to come forward. Such joyous chaos! 🎒

🕯️ I seem to remember some discussion in The Narthex about this book recently: “The Prayer Book Office,” compiled and edited by Howard Galley. I stumbled across a copy at my diocesan camp and conference center this morning as I prepare for our parish retreat. Fascinating find! ⚓️

The kiddo is away at camp, so the kittens have taken over his room. It’ll be interesting to see if he gets it back. 😉😹

It does, until my brain tries to convert the temp back to Fahrenheit, then it just melts. 🥵

Kittens being kittens: Peach (the grey tabby) welcomes us home by attacking our suitcase; Sesame (the black kitten) springs into action just as I take the picture. Silly kittens! 😹

Two new friends have joined my family: Peach (tabby kitty) and Sesame (black kitty)! They seem to be settling in very nicely.

The rector of the parish my family and I visited this weekend while on vacation (St Peter’s of the Valley, Basalt, CO) has been known to bless the nearby ski slopes. A photo of her in full gear has appeared on the cover of the diocesan magazine and hangs in the parish hall.

On vacation this weekend, so my family & I visited the wonderful clergy & people of St Peter’s of the Valley in Basalt, CO. The service was outdoors in their garden where it got buzzed by low flying hawk (or was it the Holy Spirit?) & was followed by an ice cream social. A beautiful day in all!

Well, however today’s game goes, we have a decent view on this Mother’s Day. ⚾️

🕯️ O Gracious Light - Phos hilaron

O gracious light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!

Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. … (1/2)

Hmm, I didn’t know Burt’s Bees did cat-related products. May need to look into that! And our Little Old Man is indeed old at 19. But he still likes lap time!

I found an error in Apple Maps this evening. Thought I should let them know.

I just did this myself in Apple Maps. 🍎🗺️
