“CL” has been to Punxsutawney and can testify that “Phil” found her younger daughter’s lovely straw hat particularly tasty. Phil’s other talents, of course, include weather prediction. If so, having recently noticed his shadow portends six more weeks of winter; I don’t know about you, but six more weeks of this kind of winter would be just fine! “CL’s” daffodils have emerged and are straining to bloom – before Ash Wednesday! She must keep a close watch over them, though, because she clearly remembers getting a snow/sleet mix as late as Palm Sunday weekend. As we pause with baited breath to see what weather wonders await, please peruse the attached newsletter that is packed with many NEW events and opportunities for renewal of the mind and spirit! “CL” has sharpened her pencil to clearly note many of these on her very own ‘dance card.’ CLICK HERE to enjoy!
