  Dear Sally,
  
  Thanks for taking the time to comment on both my blues (on those days when I post twice). However, you won’t offend me if you comment only on one, since I know you’re busy “making the rounds.”
  
  Have a great Blue Monday!

Sweet to think of Our Lady dancing
and making magic happen…
That’s what you do when you put
“pen to paper”

Yes, some complain about rain but to the desert it is always a blessing.

Yes, you did! Add monsoon dance to your Monday Mary post, that is! I have always wanted to visit a desert when it is in bloom! It must seem like a miracle.

  I was in the Anza-Borrego Desert in Southern California Sunday, and I saw flowers in bloom that NEVER bloom at this time of year! I can tell by the green leaves on the ocotillos that there has been abundant rainfall. (Normally they look like dead sticks.) It’s very weird–and very welcome!

Beautiful Mary! Obviously the Farmington church is a lovely sanctuary. Next Monday I will be posting somewhat similar photos of another Catholic church in Fort Collins. Stay tuned.

such a tender yet powerful contrast – an tremendous mystery which gives me shivers. I left India just before the monsoons struck this year with all her might in the northern parts and watched her dance on the internet – it seems her heart has to bleed before it can bloom

Thank you for your dancing Mary, reminding me it’s time to get my own dancing shoes on, “there is a time for everything under the sun”x

Lady of the Monsoons must have some magic in her dance steps.
