Finally!

At long last erect we've erected our little shrine to the Mother of God in the uphill corner of our Mary Garden here in Douglas. In mid-July the garden is looking a little bedraggled - the daffodils and tulips are long-gone -- but the forget-me-nots are in flower and the irises and lilies are coming up and beginning to blossom. I've still got to securely tie the post and the shrine into the fence, so it doesn't become airborne when the (inevitable) winds come howling through our little corner of Douglas Island.
