sunday morning in marlborough

i made it up to connecticut this morning in time to hear the marlborough congregational church singing "this land is your land." i heard them through the large open windows as i pulled into the parking lot. my brother-in-law was leading them and singing along while playing his guitar.

we also sang "blowin' in the wind." the minister was just starting college when bob dylan wrote the song in 1962, and he remembers being profoundly influenced by it.

 it was warm in the church, but the breeze blowing through the windows was wonderfully peaceful.

we stayed for coffee hour and had lemonade and cookies which always reminds me of summer bible camp when i was seven. my sister reminded me that it was probably kool-aid i drank in those days.
