Yeah, I'm running a little behind. I know we've been posting so infrequently that probably nobody but Donald is still reading, but we've been busy. So if you're lucky, maybe one day we'll tell you about Rome and why it took them more than a day to build it.But until then, these are Rita's "palms." It's a sprig of box, as in boxwood. It's what the Belgians use instead of palms on Palm Sunday. It's scripturally accurate because Matthew just has folks cutting branches from the trees. They were probably palms, yeah, because that's what they had. Here we have box.
Meanwhile, at the Anglican service, we get palms already folded into crosses. And to think of all that time I spent learning how to make my own palm crosses. As Brother Bluto said, "Seven years of college down the drain!"

How small is it? Is it bigger than a "box". Well, in the metropolis of Florence, traffic only has problems in the 2 construction areas. Everyone knows this, so we do not bother to interupt more important matters with frivilous traffic reports. Besides, once you have encountered the traffic problem, what good does it do to tell you about it? By the way, this Florence is not in Italy, Kentucky or Alabama. It is in the Palmetto State--not the bug, the palm tree. Real palms, not a "box".
