Then Vicki and her husband Mark brought us 20 raspberry stalks from their garden to plant. Vicki with the support of Mark is an amazing gardener. She has her own greenhouse and loves growing things. She donates much of what she starts in the winter time from her greenhouse. One of our schools in Kuna has a community garden and they have really benefited from Vicki's generous donation of vegetable starts. And now we are benefiting. We have really missed having raspberries since we moved. We are thrilled to have these starts and look forward to them growing. Who knows we may have a few this summer.
The evening ended quietly with Doug brushing his teeth before bedtime and putting his own lotion on his feet. I am so glad is making some progress. I was hoping to get a little more exercise in today but he was a little tired today.
Tonight I want to pray a prayer from Compline in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.
O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live
in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day,
who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never
forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day,
who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never
forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Silence may be kept, and free intercessions and thanksgivings may be
offered.
The service concludes with the Song of Simeon with this Antiphon, which
is sung or said by all
offered.

Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake

we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.
In Easter Season, add Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
