The Faces Pastries & Nightly Rituals of the St. Joseph Novena
Just prior to beginning our rosary prayer service, my “Cumnares” are buzzing around the altar, kitchen and dining room lending a helping hand with the many behind the scene rituals that are necessary to keep each evenings novena running smoothly and enjoyable for all who attend. It takes many helping hands to pull off this type of tradition for nine consecutive evenings. Many hosting families have a crew of devoted helpers, who show up a little earlier each night and stay a little late to help with set up and clean up! The tasks of fixing the altar candles, adding new names to our growing prayer list, organizing and handing out prayer books, and preparing the dining room table for “Novena Coffee Time,” including the arrangement of freshly baked desserts, preparing pots of Cappuccino, and the after coffee cleanup are all performed with love!
It’s with my deepest gratitude that I personally thank ! Bridgette Mathews Abbey Mathews, Andrea Randazza Carlson,Caryn Linquata Ryder, Nicole Imbrunone Curcuru, Mo Klop and Julie Sanfilippo, Eleanor Tucker, my mother Pat, daughter Amanda and all who pitch in to help me keep this tradition alive night after night!

The Saints Come Marching In!
In the past hour, as I prepare for this evenings Novena, Saints continue to find their way to our St. Joseph Altar today in pairs. My girlfriend Kerrie Callahan Donahue just stopped by to gift two St. Patrick statues to our alter, as gifts from her Irish family. As Kerrie was placing the beautiful green and blue statues on the altar the door bell rang. To my surprise stood Sebastian Lovasco with a matching St. Joseph Statue to the one I purchased this morning at Second Glance thrift Shop. After reading my morning GMG post Sebastian went looking for the matching St Joseph statue he knew he had in his families collection, to gift to our family knowing it would keep with the old altar tradition of displaying everything in pairs! I’m truly speechless. If you look closely at the altar you will notice many of My Aunt Vincie and Uncle Mike’s antique paired statues and figurine that once adorned their altar for over 35 years. Our 2015 altar continues to come together magically in pairs, just as it did generations ago!
Thank you Sebastian and Kerrie for the gorgeous additions to the Ciaramitaro Family 2015 St. Joseph Altar!

Rain Forest Publications and Mourning Cloaks
Posting hurriedly today. My darling daughter is arriving Friday for a wedding dress fitting, and I am sooo behind in wedding dress making that I am sure I will be up half the next two nights!
Recently brochures from Rain Forest Publications arrived. Don’t you love pocket guides, for the very reason the name infers–so easy to tuck along when traveling and hiking. That’s my photo on the cover of “Mexico Butterflies.” The photo was taken not in Mexico, but in Gloucester!
Be on the lookout for the first butterfly of spring, which will most likely be the Mourning Cloak Butterfly. Mourning Cloaks do not spend the winter in the cool volcanic mountains of Mexico as do the Monarchs, or as a chrysalis in our gardens, like the Black Swallowtail, or as a caterpillar rolled up in a tight little ball under a leaf, as does the Wooly Bear, but as an adult butterfly!
Pussy Willow (Salix discolor)
During the winter months Mourning Cloaks live tucked away in cracks and crevices, between chinks of tree bark, for example. At the first warm breath of spring they begin to take flight, searching for a mate. You’ll often see them on the wing around Pussy Willows, one of the Mourning Cloak caterpillar’s food plants.
