Back in the Woods Away from the Scandals

So good to be back in the woods and to get away from the scandals resulting from the infiltration of the seminaries, seminaries without borders, and just the calumny that is cast against our president, prayer breakfasts and anything religious, and even generic goodness that seems, thank God, to be in the ascendancy in of all places: the White House. (We must of course be thankful for this that this abode of the President is a place where the faith of our fathers has room again to grow.) But it is nice to be in the woods and allowing the news and scandals to melt away by way of Jewelweed in bloom with its little orange orchids, jo pyeweed beginning to flower, golden rod, milkweed, raspberry and blackberry beginning to darken, wild cherries black and ripe, and just the thick summer green behind which the redbird whistles merrily.
