The Sailing Club is looking spiffy!

                       The area around the beach and docks was dredged,
                          new sand brought in and the grass reseeded!

Happy ... um ... Spring? 🌷⛄️

🕯️ This years "Candlemas" Candles!

Candlemas was a bit late this year for listener, who was recovering from surgery on the actual date of February 2nd. Instead, this year's candle dipping took place on March 14th (and 15th and 16th). These candles exist largely thanks to altar candle stubs donated by Grace Episcopal in Lake City, PA, St. Barnabas Episcopal in Norwich, VT, and United Methodist in North Ferrisburgh, VT. ✨🕯️✨

Candlemas...belatedly

 

The real Candlemas was on February 2nd, but that was only five days after my surgery.  So I'm hand-dipping candles on March 14th instead, because that's when a friend can join me.

This photo shows last year's batch.

This was Shiloh 😊 (Inspired by Susan's comment about his dancing prowess)
