wednesday linkage

The angel when giving the rules of monasticism to St. Pachomius said to him: "... He laid down that in the course of the day they should make twelve prayers, and at the lamp-lighting time twelve, and in the nightly vigils twelve, and at the ninth hour three. When the multitude goes to eat, he laid down that a psalm should be sung before each prayer. As Pachomius objected to the angel that the prayer were too few ..."

The rain has finally come to Chicago. We have been without it for quite a while. So, now the herbs are starting to come up. That's a joy. Our potted plants are growing...thyme, basil...Dill is coming up out of the ground. All of this makes me very happy. It is nice to have a yard. It has been so very long.

Welcome to another installment of Wednesday Linkage! I hope your week has been fruitful. Mine has. Enjoy the musings below. Take your time.
