Scythe Beats Weedwhacker

April is here. The days are now longer than the nights and the frost is gone.  It is now time to cut the grass.  Scythe Beats Weedwhacker

And of course summer is approaching which means trips to the shore will soon be in order.

So, how can one get in shape for the beach, while saving the environment and having a nice lawn, all at the same time?

One word: scythe!

That’s right ladies, the ancient European farm implement is faster than a Weed Whacker, does not release planet-killing carbon emissions and gets you six-pack abs in no time.

Don’t just ask but DEMAND that your husband buy you one right now!!!

Here it is in action:

Holy Myrrh-Bearers First Mass

Archbishop Stefan Soroka is greeted before the first Divine Liturgy, yesterday, April 19, at  Holy Myrrh-Bearers Eastern Catholic Church. Bishop Stefan at first Holy Myrrh Bearers mass

The church at 900 Fairview Road, Pa.  Swarthmore 19081 will have Masses 10 a.m., Sundays.

Eastern Catholics are self-governing  churches in full communion with the Pope. Roman Catholics can fully participate in Eastern Catholic services just as Eastern Catholics often attend Roman Catholic services. This of course means the mutual reception of the Holy Eucharist.
