tuesday befor ashwednesday

we quickly went over to the backer to buy a treat for afternoon snack. it has become a tradition to do so before ash wednesday. all of us love the "berliner" and "fasnachtchuechli", which are not an everyday treat in our house. i have not yet been brave enough to bake those desserts myself, as it requires frying in the oil...

lent is approaching quickly and we will be talking about the meaning of lent, living toward easter.
i like and appreciate this season of reflecting and treading a bit slower. taking time to sit down read and reflect. attend the ash wendsay service at the near catholic church. wrap the cross in "sack cloth" until easter morning! though for now, we enjoy the wonderful food!
