"In heaven I shall live amid joy since all trial will be gone forever,
but here below I must live by love."
St. Therese of Lisieux
I was so excited to get this little statue for my birthday! There she is, on top of the fountain. I have a true Mary's Garden, complete with three rose bushes.

Real: I used the money my parents sent me for my birthday. They're not very happy about me being Catholic. When I spend the money they send me on Catholic stuff it's not the same as their approval, but it helps me deal.

It's Mary's month! There's the little church I attend almost every Wednesday night for rosary group in the background. I get all my stained glass pictures there.Why did they paint the brick? It must have been a phase at one point.
I really need to take you on a photo tour of the church. It's so beautiful. The entire town has such clear air. I attribute the healthy feeling of the town's air to the faithful Rosary group that prays on Sundays and Wednesdays. Three mysteries on Wednesday and all four on Sunday.
I have a little "before and after" action going for you today. First, a back story. I wanted a new holy water font for beside the garage door, because this one is just a little bare, and held together with tacks. It has a bad habit of flying off the wall when noone is around, hence the tacks. Probably from the door slamming.

Like I said, it seemed a little bare. Then I remembered a couple of little Jesus vignettes I put together a while back from Ye Olde Goodstuff store a month ago.
After:

Now I'm satisfied with the holy water font, and I'll save the money for something else. I don't know what, but it will arrive in the proper time. Have you seen the pink miraculous medals? Yes, so cute!

I'll need to save.
Oh my goodness! I just had a brainstorm: maybe I can make my own?!
