This week two more women joined us for the Volunteer in Community program. A third woman will join the group on Sunday which will bring our numbers to ten. We tackled a number of tasks last week including digging thistles from the prairie and cutting wild grape vines out of the evergreen trees along the path to the garden. Since we haven’t had measurable rain in a couple of weeks we have also been watering the plantings around the new monastery building and the vegetables in the garden. Speaking of vegetables, we are harvesting green beans, eggplant, cabbage, and of course, zuchini!
One of the volunteers saw a mink on the monastery grounds today. What wildlife have you seen as you walk the trails at the monastery?
