I'd be delighted to see any medieval-religioners who want to stop by, but
Christopher, you of all people should've noted my use of the future tense
when referring to my garden (the former cornfield). We're just praying the
100+ trees and shrubs we planted last summer survive last year's drought.
The finished product, complete with fruit trees and veggies (yes, my own
garden of Eden), is a long way off. Still, what are dreams for?
