Our Sixth Year on the Farm 2/52: Kittens and Baby Birds

Leo... eating grass?
We've just released our kittens, Leo and Nina, in the hopes that they'll rid our sheds of mice, and Leo (the gray one) has actually succeeded in catching a few! However, they can cause mischief sometimes, as is shown in the case of one little baby bird (see above pictures) whose nest got knocked down and its parents couldn't find it. We've given it to Angelica Hatke in the hopes that it'll survive... And it has! (So far.)

  1. That's so cute! I'm glad that the baby bird has survived so far. Wouldn't it be great if it survived and grew into a fully grown bird? I really like the pictures. In the dark picture, I can't see Nina anywhere. Where am I supposed to look? -Finn

St. Lazarus the Bishop, Feb. 11

Source St. Lazarus became Bishop of Milan in around 439. He is believed to have developed the Rogationtide litanies, and the First Council of Orleans approved the celebration of Rogationtide. At that time, the Ostrogoths were invading Italy, but Lazarus held up. He died on March 14, 450.

Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660)

Vincent grew up a farmer's son, and he tended sheep when he was young. He wanted to be a priest, so Vincent studied, took up, and got ordained. His mission was to help the poor; he provided food and clothing for them. Tradition says that he was seized by pirates (while onboard a ship) and sold into slavery in North Africa! But he escaped (phew!) and made his way to Rome. He went back to France, and was appointed court chaplain to Queen Margaret of Valois. He is the patron saint of all charities.
