Can’t believe we’ve reached mid-May already. The weather folks say we’ve passed the chance of frost. Time for planting! Now to find some tomatoes to put in the ground.
The corn isn’t as high yet as the photo above shows. I took that picture last summer at Transfiguration Monastery. The sisters don’t grow it. It’s the neighbor’s crop and field alongside the monastery property.
May 15 is the feast day of St. Isidore the farmer. I remember having a small marker with the saint’s image in my garden for a few years. Got some good crops then.
According to Franciscan Saint of the Day, Isidore was very devout. He was also very in tune with the fields, which he planted and plowed and harvested. The saint labored for a wealthy landowner outside of Madrid, Spain starting as a young man. He had the same employer all his life.
St. Isidore the farmer, Please Pray for Us!
Peace,
Deacon Tom
