It’s been difficult to sit down and write down anything inspiring, but I’ll share with you all that has been going on. Trying to take care of three young boys and staying afloat takes some effort. What has kept me sane is my garden and the fruit beared; The mini hike in the Appalachians; providing nursing care to my client and to the homeless. The list goes on of what there is to be grateful for. Oh, and delicious zucchini cake! I started viewing recipes and then improvised and I guess created my own!

Today we dissected a mini watermelon that stopped growing and discussed the different kinds parts.

Our church organized a pilgrimage to Hellenic College Holy Cross Seminary in Brookline, Ma and it was their church’s feast, the Exaltation of the Cross! Very busy but well worth visiting. The basketball court was a hit for the kids and adults alike. We greeted the Arch Bishops, which was a blessing.

This month we also learned how to make Prosphora or Qurban, which means sacrifice. It is the bread used during holy communion. It’s a prayerful process with certain rituals to maintain and ingredients that hold significance.

I’d love to hear from you! How is your fall?! I’m climbing a mountain this Saturday. Will you be visiting a mountain top or traveling to see the foliage? May God bless your fall adventures.
