Just as we thought winter was over, having not received as much as one snow flake the whole season, we got a nice snow last Tuesday. It melted, the daffodils revived, then it snowed all day Friday. I took this picture this morning. The water on our porch froze overnight preserving the snow until the sun came up Saturday. Our Weimaraner Jackson dragged his bed out to the porch to secure for himself a good viewing place for this unusual lenten sight. Easter is coming so early this year, we actually had a pink poinsettia that survived from Christmas to Laetare Sunday.
Monastery of Marylake
Marylake was founded in 1952. The monastery was built facing a lake by Masons in 1926 as a country club for Little Rock. Father Evarist named the place in honor of Jesus' mother. It is run by the Discalced Carmelite friars of the province of Oklahoma.
