@pauljpastor Are you sure it wasn’t @stephenproctor

Before Groundhog Day, a simple rhyme for the church holiday, Candlemas, was used: "If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, Winter will have another flight; If Candlemas Day brings clouds and rain, Winter is gone and will not come again."

Another six weeks of winter where I am.

@pauljpastor It begs the question.. Use them for what?

[derek @derek_296]

I would say the best way to restore the use of old churches would have to be to use them for their original purpose, but I am biased I guess...

@pauljpastor Just wait, Paul. Surely you’ll find this one on the side of the road too.

“A thing of beauty is a joy forever…”

A beautiful edition of Keats from Peter Pauper press, gleaned from a friend’s library after her passing.

Please, may we make books like this again?

[derek @derek_296]

@pauljpastor There’s no doubt yesterdays holy Fire descended. Quite fitting weather!

[derek @derek_296]

Barely missed the window to listen to this in its proper setting.

@dieworkwear Hey derek, how would you describe this aesthetic?

[Ryan B. Anderson @OldHollowTree]

You need to be getting merrier. You need to become jolly. You need to be spreading cheer constantly. Small gifts, rakish winks, harmless jokes, baked goods, spontaneous outings, mistletoe, caroling, bonfires. You need to be a level of festive that invites wonder and mild alarm.

Is society really so bored with itself that it needs to go on Venmo and see what everyone has spent money on? I could care less if Peggy Sue spent five dollars on a taco last Tuesday.

[derek @derek_296]

@pauljpastor This is super exciting. Well done, Paul!!

[derek @derek_296]

@slouiehogan I’m sorry friend. Are you back in the Pacific Northwest?

[derek @derek_296]

I am in a tree picking plums and figs. Life is good.

[derek @derek_296]

9:30 and still going strong! Happy summer solstice everyone.

[derek @derek_296]

@pauljpastor It’s ok for now. Maybe not long term though. You’ve cut off its water supply!

[derek @derek_296]

@slouiehogan This is a nightmare I had just the other night.

[derek @derek_296]

Sorry, but themed parties aren’t fun. I would rather just show up as myself.
