picking up stones

As another preparatory exercise for a weather unit we learned about the water cycle and partook in an experiment about evaporation.
One of the links on the girls' Lenten chain was to shovel snow. Well as you can see we have no snow so instead they shoveled stones left over from plowing.

They worked really hard and got about a 2x2 foot area picked up before they were tired!! Thank you girls-great sacrifice.

Jesus help me to see your face as I take a step in showing mercy to someone I meet today.
Today's suggested penance: Do some extraordinary kindness to someone who would never expect it.
