What do you think of Pope Francis‘ Laudato Si environmental encyclical?

Praise Be His creation!

I’m taking full advantage of taking care of my share of †GOD’s† ☼creations☼ and creatures this weekend!

Following a long week filled with grading speeches and continuing my doctoral dissertation data processing, I beat the heat before today’s rain hit to tend to the garden.

Floral Friday: Curb Appeal

I’ve always admired my parentshard work, not just in their jobs, but also in how they maintain their home.

To this very day, almost three decades since we moved into their forever home, I still consider it as the nicest one on the block all year round.

Front yard

  • My dad, who has a green thumb, takes pride in doing his own gardening.
  • My mother, who decorates for every single holiday, decks the halls and the porches to welcome each season.
Pink flower

A brand-new addition to their spring blossoms: This pink flower is in full bloom!

Who needs Home Owners Association when this DISPO DIY couple prefer to exercise their own creativity?
