    Nice job. Thanks for teaching me two new ones. I wish I could see the birds a bit more clearly. I know more birds than wildflowers.

      The birds were pretty high up in a tree, so I had to use the zoom function. - John Paul

    I know where you found that creeping phlox! There's more near the mailbox, too.

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.
