Mercedarian Formation

Overcast skies and Br. Martin has left on his much anticipated vacation with Fr. Matthew Phelan across the US of A. So we are a brother short in our community here at Mercygrove. I did an hour on the treadmill yesterday and an extra Rosary around the property and let the blood sucking mosquitos have another annoying feast on me while I captured some shots in the front yard, trying not to twist my ankle on the many ground hog holes. One of these days I'm going to be setting up a shot while my foot is on the top of one of those groundhog holes and the whole lot of them are going to come to rescue of their stopped compadre...and then, I'll see the white of their eyes and have to run or fight...and see the real number of those furry rascals! We are inundated with them here. I'm going to camp out next to one of their holes, at a safe distance, and catch a shot of them, eventually, in a bug suit...I wish.
