Lenten Nesting?

Sisters Judith, Leonette, and Veronica 

Greetings,

We are continuing to wait in patience through our Lent.  However, a bit of excitement entered into our elder sisters activity room during the third week of Lent!

Sisters Margo (center) and Virginia (far right)
joined by one excited little helper.

Our sisters looked on with great interest as Sister Margo began to reveal the living symbol of our Lenten waiting for the next three weeks. Sister Margo brought out her 'egg incubator' from her 5th grade teaching days, and Novice Peggy's family shared a few dozen eggs from their farm.  Our Care Center sisters' prayer and sacrifice will now be joined with anticipation of NEW LIFE and baby chicks!

As the sisters filled the incubator, they were joined by Nurse Jane's 4 year-old-son.  He was so excited that he asked Sister, "Well, where are the chicks?"

The egg incubator is now nested quietly in the southwest corner of the Care Center activity room.  It is looked over with tender care as sisters young and old stop by to peek at the still waiting eggs.

Join us in hovering and hoping for a newly hatched clutch (also called a chattering) in time for Easter!  After the celebration, Sister Virginia will be gathering the growing brood to raise.  A peep of chickens might be just what the garden needs to clear up bugs all organic!

Blessings,
