Independence Day's Coming

Sunday, July 1, 2012. I've got mostly photos again this week: only not quite so many. Actually one of them is from last week.

The next three photos show part of what I've been doing this week. As many as 98 folks have been gathering in the garden next to Our Lady of the Angels church each evening to pray. Tonight there were 92: I suspect some of us decided to stay inside, out of the heat and humidity.

There's been more going on in Sauk Centre: folks buying food and fireworks at the grocery; hummingbirds refueling at feeders, including mine; all the usual routines.

Down the road in Alexandria, KSAX television stopped broadcasting. Alexadria's Echo Press ran an article on the closure:

If something special happened here in Sauk Centre: I missed it, but will try to catch up next week.
