Our Holiday Fundraiser - help feed our horses!

Please remember - you can decorate for Christmas and support Ascension Hermitage & Sanctuary all at once! Our on-line "store" has many beautiful options.

We are raising money for hay for our horses - our goal is $856 for five weeks' worth of hay.

Orders placed by Dec. 8 will be delivered in time for Christmas, but orders can be placed through Dec. 15 - those will definitely brighten your New Year!

Thank you very much!

Amaryllis and paperwhites serve as beautiful holiday décor! These unique blooms will be great conversation pieces among family and friends over the holidays!

3. Easy To Grow

These holiday blooms require minimal care to thrive. Our waxed amaryllis bulbs don't even require water or soil to grow! ANYONE can grow these!

4. Flexible Flowers

Amaryllis and paperwhites can be grown indoors and later you can put them outdoors when it gets warm! Try for more blooms by properly storing the bulbs after the first bloom season ends!

5. Enjoy For Weeks

Amaryllis are fun to watch as they grow! Even after the first bloom has dried up, sit tight! There's a good chance there will be at least one more flower that blooms!

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!
