Happy Easter, everyone! I just got in from church, so it will take me a little while to get back up to speed.
Easter is very late this year, only one day earlier than the latest possible date. As a result, the flowers on the altar included azalea, scotch broom, bluebells, and dogwood — an unusual combination for an Easter arrangement, where daffodils are generally to be expected.
On the way home I saw irises blooming — irises! At Easter! — and the azaleas are in full bloom here at Schloss Bodissey, as you can see from the photo above.
It’s very hot, too: 90°F (32°C). Two days ago it was wintry, almost cold enough to snow.
All this climate change — it’s George Bush’s fault.
He is risen.
Hallelujah!
He is risen indeed. Hallelujah, hallelujah!
In hoc signo vinces†
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Hallelujah! He is Lord!!
A blessed Easter time to you.
A belated Hallelujah!
