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.

I love this picture. (I have a Weimaraner as well!) The Discalced Carmelites have always had a draw for me. I really love this blog. Thank you for blogging! Pax
We were visiting friends in Sheridan, Arkansas and they drove us by the monastery. It is absolutely beautiful! We sat outside for a few minutes just enjoying the peace. You can be sure on out next trip north we'll be back.
