It’s great to have a trail on the monastery. The only problem is monks don’t have chainsaws. So, time to get ours out!

If you are following along at home, you may recall that we had to take out a massive chunk of our 300+ year old maple this year. We were mostly doing risk management around the 25 year old oak tree we planed here as a stick (which is dwarfed by the magestic maple).
We stacked the logs we didn’t sell up by the wood shed to cure. Come winter, we burned our way through the supply and then split the maple (and some locust too).

Iulie has grown, and so have her zinias. Last time we checked, they were about two inches tall.
The tree has grown too.
Of course we walked. Twice, in fact.
The dogs were hosed off and toweled “dry.”
Bubbie had some fun things to do.
There were fresh eggs (and lots of them). 18!
And, as always, there was the rope for swinging.
Up high.
Here they come.
Mama!
Maybe always wants in on the action.
