Prayer During Hurricane Season
- Prayer for Hurricane SeasonO God, Master of this passing world, hear the humble voices of your children. The Sea of Galilee obeyed your order and returned to its former quietude; you are still the Master of land and sea. We live in the shadow of a danger over which we have no control. The Gulf, like a provoked and angry giant, can awake from its seeming lethargy, overstep its conventional boundaries, invade our land and spread chaos and disaster. During this hurricane season, we turn to You, O loving Father. Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time. O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother, we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us. Amen. Originally dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Audrey in 1957. - Fr. Al Volpe, Cameron Parish, LA

Prayer to End Abortion
- Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters. I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion. Today I commit myself Never to be silent, Never to be passive, Never to be forgetful of the unborn. I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement, And never to stop defending life Until all my brothers and sisters are protected, And our nation once again becomes A nation with liberty and justice Not just for some, but for all, Through Christ our Lord. Amen!

Gardens in Bloom
Remember our spring bucket projects? We had a bulb bloom. YAY!
DQ was thrilled. Starr cried bucketfuls because her flower has not flowered...yet. I weakly tried explaining pollination to my five-year-old. Let's hope nature does what it's suppose to. Come on...just one little flower in Starr's bee-u-tee-ful bucket. Please!
In the meantime, flowers have literally taken over the household. Literally...
My hibiscus bushes are blooming, blooming, blooming beautifully. We use to live on Hybiscus Lane and I had hibiscus in my back yard. I do miss the connection but I sure don't have trouble growing them no matter what road I live on.
And, for my online friends Nicole, Jenn, and Celeste, I present my budding gardenia bush in all its glory:
Can you smell them, ladies? One more...
And just one more...
Remember our Roxaboxen Project? It still lives...
And to think I use to laugh at my mother for taking pictures of flowers. What a sap I've become.
Here's the After Shot of the Before Shot...

Our Monday Project
In the morning we painted our buckets...
After our seatwork was completed, we planted dahlia bulbs and impatiens. Daddy said that way the cat won't think it's a litter box. ; ) He's such a kidder.
We're using the book Easy Garden Projects to Make, Build and Grow this spring.
Please come by to see our projects. The girls love show-and-tell.
