[Magdalen] Easter services

[Chad Wohlers]

And I'm at signals.boldest.feels. And they even show my driveway!

Around here, even in this very rural area, everyone has a street 
address, and the guys who deliver the fuel oil (or propane) just know 
where it goes for each house.

And Happy Easter to all! The snow is mostly gone, the robins are back, 
and I start planting the garden tomorrow!
