Feast for the Assumption

Today our keeper left us for her office and eventually, all points westward. She was dragging her feet about leaving this morning and we didn't help much. It feels like she has been off for a long time, but not really. She told us she spent most of the day returning calls and emails until she had to travel into town. Her office is in a basement and was cool. The roads were hot.

Today is also the Feast of the Assumption, one she has often not placed much attention  But given the intensity of the week and her new spirit, she stayed in town for a hot but lovely evening service which seemed a fitting way to ground the chaos and the grace. And she finally came home to us in a very peaceful place and we all ate out on the deck with candles and looked for meteor showers. None seen.  Maybe later.  She is thinking of camping out on the deck. We hope we can join her.
