The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes;  so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit.

You know the baby ducks are doing well when after a week and a half they have quadrupled in size and

the basement smells like a barn.

When I was a kid I had some Guinea pigs as pets.  One of them was a white one named Wesley.

There's a bit of unrest here at the Bad Dog Ranch.

There is talk of taking in another bad dog, you see.

The resident bad dogs are not sure what to make of it.

Will some upstart puppy come along and complicate things?  Stay tuned.

A nut is defined as a seed inside a hard shell.  The stuff surrounding the seed is called fruit.  The fruit is usually edible.  Some nuts defy the definition.  The Bush Nut is a tuber.  The Peanut is a legume. 

How many kinds of nuts are there?   It's hard to say because there are different categories of nuts and sometimes something called a nut is not a nut.  To further confuse things, some people are nuts.

Mabel passed away a few years ago.  We still miss her.  She was very interested in the ducks.  Even though she had arthritis and it hurt to go up and down stairs, she would visit the baby ducks in their basement brooder.  As we prepare for a new batch of ducks, we remember Mabel. 

Mabel got along with everybody at the Bad Dog Ranch.  (She was shy when guests came over however, and hid herself in a bedroom till they left.)

She never let the fact that she weighed 140 pounds keep her from being a lap dog. 

She loved us. 

 


We salute Saint Mabel the Great.

Anima Christi


Soul of Christ, sanctify me;
Body of Christ, save me;
Blood of Christ, inebriate me;
Water from the side of Christ, wash me;
Passion of Christ, strengthen me;
O good Jesus hear me;
Within your wounds hide me;
separated from you, let me never be;
From the evil one protect me;
At the hour of my death, call me;
And close to you bid me; That with your saints,
I may be praising you forever and ever.

Amen.

Quarantine makes one introspect.

  One thing's for sure.  I'm a homebody but this is ridiculous!

We're running low on pasta!

At least I finally painted that bedroom!

Lois was the cutest puppy ever!

I had intended to quiet my mind this Lent.  I failed miserably.
