Well, greetings!  Did you think I forgot you? Yes, I guess I took a short vacation from blogging. We are in the midst of a novena to St. Joseph. Since our monastery is dedicated to this great Guardian of the Redeemer we have a solemn novena to him each year.

Today was our community solitude afternoon and I spent it with Blessed Pope John Paul II's Redemptoris Custos. What a beautiful reflection on the life and virtues of St. Joseph!

Each Sister is reveling in the spring weather. Every day we can see more buds opening and the grass is just beginning to green - although, we seem to have more wild onions than grass and the wild onions are the first to pop up!

These beauties are in bloom...

I think I have "writer's block". :(

I would be interested in hearing what YOU are interested in seeing more of on this blog.  Any ideas?
