Three Blessings!

While I was away on my vacation, daughter #2, Carole, kindly came over and watered my flowers and tomato plants on the days it didn't rain.  They were doing very well when I returned yesterday!  Today, I picked two of the cherry tomatoes!  They were the first I harvested.

Then I looked up in my own mimosa tree and noticed the bright pink puffs had started blooming!  It is so spectacular when fully blooming.  It will bloom for another month.

My favorite Mimosa Tree, blooming two years ago.

Blessing #3: I had lunch with my four best pals from my long residence in Danville, Kentucky.  We toured my church, Christ the King, so they could see the newly constructed altar and Adoration Chapel.  Father Gino gave us a marvelous, informational tour.

Father Gino begins our tour of Christ the King Cathedral in the center aisle.  From left are Harriet, Linda, Leone, and Rosemary with Father Gino.

The beautiful Holy Spirit window is above the Bapistry Pool.

The new large Baptistry Pool.

The Cathedral was dedicated in 1966.

The new Altar area with Tabernacle and all the new pipes for the new organ.

Double doors to our new Adoration Chapel.

Father Gino explains the differences among the three Holy Oils.

Father also shows us the O'Neil Center, the parish office building, including his office, above.  We get to meet Carson, his very well-behaved dog.

The last blessing of this great day: a bountiful rain to refresh our dry-looking lawns!

Praise you, Lord, for all the blessings of today and always!
