It was a year ago I began this Blog, wanting something to do during Lent. It has been a fulfilling experience even though my entries lagged at times during the summer months. This year Ash Wednesday begins 3 weeks later than last year and we still have snow and ice dams on the roofs and piles of snow waiting to melt when our daily temperatures get above 30F. Moderate or major Spring floods are predicted for most flood plains and places near the Red, Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. The floods may be historic. Many communities have been filling and stockpiling sand bags for a month or more in preparation. It's only a matter of time...
For we Catholics, Ash Wednesday and Fridays are meatless during Lent. We must "sacrifice" and eat fish like the yummy looking grilled salmon and steamed vegetable plate shown below:
