Holy cupola!
Our Lady of the Rosary had its cupola restored to its natural copper luster. All the green patina was shined away and now that the scaffolding is down (it’s been up since Katrina) even the bells clang a little louder. This morning, my wake up call were the bells – I haven’t actually heard them so well in a while (but then again the a/c has been running in my little cocoon). My neighbor says the dome has been green for so long she’s not sure she can get used to the brownish copper look. I like both, but what I like best is the scaffolding finally down – a signal that yet one more thing storm-related is behind us.
