Hey 2021, Adios, Arrivederci, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, Sayōnara, Don't let the door hit you in the butt...

Ice, then Snow......kind of describes the year, doesn't it?

Merry Christmas!

My apologies!  I never noticed that I hadn't set posts for the 24th and 25th.  My goodness.  I guess the pre-holiday prep took over! LOL!  I did have posts already up through the 29th, so it wasn't obvious at a glance. Thank you for your sweet patience!

Cat TV

Dean Robert of Canterbury Cathedral offers a simple service of Morning Prayer with reflection from a location around the Cathedral, always with a pot of tea nearby. 🫖 Often it's in a garden among the flowers, but sometimes, as in this case, it's in the Cathedral meadow, among the animals.  Many chickens and some pigs here! 🐓🐖  
A friend sent me the link and I was checking it out, when I realised both Mizzen and Spinnaker were glued to the video.  LOL!  I do not worship alone. 🌿 Thursday's offering was Morning Prayer in the Deanery Garden with a cat named Leo, and prayer for Vancouver cut off from the world by the rains. 🌎 Small world.

It's Certainly Not Texas...
