\n(Wednesday morning, my webcam’s view. (April 14, 2021)<\/p>\n

Minnesota’s April showers can be rain, snow, or anything in between. Tuesday afternoon and evening’s were snow, which was gone by Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

I gather that folks don’t generally talk about weather as much as we do here. Maybe that’s because we’re more rural than, say, New York City. Then again, maybe not.<\/p>\n

At any rate, it’s neither raining nor showing at the moment \u2014 Thursday afternoon, April 15, 2021 in case your ‘today’ is my ‘tomorrow.’<\/p>\n

At the moment, I’m taking a break from researching and writing a ‘Marlowe’s Faustus’ essay; and finally saying something about the Elizabethan play.<\/p>\n

I’m also getting around to sharing photos I took during Lent.<\/p>\n

The idea at the time was illustrating some point or other about prayer. And how we’re coping with the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\n(A change in Adoration chapel rules last month. They’ve changed again.)<\/p>\n

I still don’t know how I’ll start the next section in that “Faustus” thing. But It won’t get written if I don’t get back to working on it. After, I think, a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n

Stuff that’s related to this, and some that’s probably not:<\/p>\n
