A Temple of the Holy Spirit

It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord. It caused me to reflect on this idea. Although I've mostly seen only pictures of the great cathedrals and basilicas in the world, I have seen some amazing churches even in our own diocese.

Saturday Photo Finish

Posted by on
I believe it's week eleven-teen of quarantine here in Ohio.  Thankfully the weather has slowly been improving but it sure seems to be taking it's sweet time.  Here is a photo summary of the last week and how we've been spending our time at home...

The boys have been cleaning and upgrading their airsoft guns, waiting patiently

My dad (r) and brother (2nd from r) got bee suits for William (l) and Christopher (2nd from l)
So far they've established two purchased hives and captured two swarms.

This is a view of our lower field behind the pond.  I was on the tractor mowing
when I snapped this picture.  

The morels were fantastic this week and we ate our fill!!





My uncle caught a bunch of Lake Erie Walleye and brought them to us.
I cleaned them and cooked them along with some of the morels.  It was a science/home economics class.
Walleye and morels bathed in butter....yummmmm

Most nice evening are spent in this fashion.

I guess quarantines aren't so bad most days...
