The Rhododendron is blooming

 We have Rhododendron by our back deck, our front porch and in our front yard.

It is blooming and is glorious.

It is also the state flower of where Bern and I are from--West Virginia.

Or as natives there say it: 'West by God Virginia'.

Both our children were born in Charleston, WV, while I was priest at St. James Church--an all Black Church. Not enough Black priests in the Episcopal Church....

Neither Josh or Mimi grew up with any racial discrimination in them.

Josh even married an Asian woman.

So, I'm glad that was where they were born and how they turned out.

And the trees are blooming and glorious.

About Me

some ponderings by an aging white man who is an Episcopal priest in Connecticut. Now retired but still working and still wondering what it all means...all of it.
