Farewell Jenny

It is with much sadness that we said farewell to Jenny - she had appeared perfectly healthy last night, but this morning we found that she had left us for the Rainbow Bridge.

Jenny came to Sanctuary House in February 2011, saved at the last minute from death row in an animal facility in North Carolina. When we first met Jenny she was an adult, thin and scraggly, but she gained weight here and became a most beautiful white and orange cat. Jenny loved her solitude; she didn't mind being near other cats, but she was a loner even in the midst of a group. With me, she was talkative and friendly, although she did not like being held. She knew her name, and always came when called. . . something that cannot be said for many cats!

Oh, Jenny - perhaps she has found our friends' beagle Lucy who left only a few days ago. Tesser well, Jenny; catch up with you later!

February 2

Candlemas, the Feast of the Presentation of our Lord in the Temple in the Episcopal Church or Meeting of the Lord in the Orthodox Church. Read the whole story in the Gospel according to Luke (Luke 2: 21-38). A poem for the day: Nunc dimittis Now old Simeon can sing his song! This is the baby, this is the Lord! This is the King we have been waiting for, Now old Simeon can sing his song! Now old Simeon can sing his song: A baby - every mother's ordinary light of the world, But, my Lord, this is the Lord! Now old Smeon can sing his song! Now old Simeon can sing his song, Light and glory, salvation and heart-sword: This baby here - this is the Lord! Now old Simeon can sing his song!           (from  Handful of Stars , © 2018) And a very Happy Birthday to  St. Hilda's and St. Hugh's School, NYC And it's Ground Hog Day!  Punxsutatawney Phil predicts an early Spring . . . hope you're right, Phil!

Season of Creation

Beginning today and continuing through October 4th, many Episcopal parishes as well as groups and individuals will be joining in the ecumenical celebration of the Season of Creation. For those who may be interested, Episcopal News Service has sent out this article  Season of Creation  which includes many resources.  I am very glad to say that my online parish, Christ Church Cathedral  in Houston, will be keeping the Season of Creation, and we at Sanctuary House will also find ways to be mindful of the season as well.

Somerset County at work

 Very glad this little county project is on the far side of our street! The chickens and ducks, whose yard is just on our side of the road, do not appreciate the noise and disruption at all. Cats are keeping watch from the upstairs windows. Dogs? well, it's a project to supervise for sure, although with the air conditioning on inside, a nap sounds pretty good, too!
