Blessed feast of the Ascension!  Sad to no longer shout Christ is Risen, and I will miss the sounds of "The Angel Cried,"  but Pentecost is nearly upon us, and the rich green of this feast is bursting with life.  I love the beauty of the church calendar, everything in its season, and this year my hydrangea have decided to make certain they are wearing green in time for Pentecost.
