The weather has been gorgeous the last few days. Not too hot, not too humid. There is a pesky rabbit that has been nibbling at Harold's ornamental cabbage. That critter's days are numbered. Sprayed everything with Sevin last night. I hope that takes care of the other varmints who have been making holes in the leaves of my plants.

The plan today is to bake some bread. I burned the last loaf so we shall see. The breadmaker has a funky burny smell. I'm hoping that it won't transfer to the bread.

Word of the day:
Saint Thomas, apostle - Feast
Today the Church celebrates : St. Thomas, Apostle -Feast
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 20:24-29.

Thomas, called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nailmarks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe." Now a week later his disciples were again inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, "Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."
