Palm Sunday

Today the grace of the Holy Spirit has gathered us together. Let us all take up Thy cross and say: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest! (First Verse of Vespers).

Pre-lenten get together

The Seminary held a Pre-Lenten get together and the children had a blast. Here are a few pics of the evening: https://picasaweb.google.com/104287731630457993451/21012PreLentenParty#slideshow/5709484389347456098

Tranquil Monastery

When there was snow...

Though warm springlike weather has thankfully prevailed so far this winter, we did have a couple day's of snowy weather a couple weeks ago... H was so excited to try out her new snowshoes with Daddy!

Who Knew?

Who knew there were furry creatures who would throw a party while we were away? Who knew mice like to romp in towel drawers looking for silicone hot pads to nibble on or stroll through kitchen drawers chewing on anything with a rubber handle...can opener...veggie peeler...spatula...wire whisk...etc...

Who knew that they wouldn't stop there?! That they needed a more substantial feast? Who knew they love rubber pot handles too? That we would need to sanitize and wash all of our pots and pans and that we will be reminded of our furry little house guests every time we grab the handle of our favorite pan?

Well, now we know...and though I am sure he feasted well, there is now one less furry creature roaming this world...and in case any others have the same idea: there are traps in every corner...
