The Passing Autumn : A Poem By Annie

The Passing Autumn

 Now that it's time to welcome the fall

 Let's go out and gather all

The leaves wear red, orange, yellow

It makes me feel happy and mellow

 All the acorns slapped the ground

 All these wonders have been found

 The mountains snuggling in colors

 All the trees hugging their brothers

 Bring out the pumpkins bring out the turkey

 All the people joyous and perky

 All trees from pine to oak

 Is all align on the cheery slope

 The apples clinging to the trees

 Always end up on their knees

 All the joys touch my finger

 The mountains are happy while they linger

 As all the leaves say goodbye

 I sit and watch as the seasons fly

 As all the animals say good night

 All the children tucked in tight

 As fall closes its doors

 We all miss it in our cores

The Blessing of the Pets on the Feast of Saint Francis : Annie Brings Luma

Here we see Father Roberto,, Camilla,, Mrs. Congdon, and Annie (Father Basant is also present). Annie is such a good reader, she is ALWAYS chosen to read (much to her chagrin). The music director REALLY wanted her to be a lector.

Leia's Special Spot at Early College

Leia used this spot at Early College whenever she wanted to be alone in nature. My guess is that it was an abandoned high/low ropes course once used by ROTC.
