We are extremely blessed to have been given a generous gift of a Yamaha keyboard. The sound is quite amazing, even in our little chapel. Here Sr. Helena Marie plays a cello piece as a postlude.

Dining at the Bluestone Avian Cafe

Nearly every Saturday we make pizza. The idea was borrowed from Barbara Kingsolver and her family — we, too, create taste delights from whatever is on hand. Since we grow nearly all our own food, the options are rich.

Topped with our own BFLC Boldog paprika, it was delicious!

A Walk in the Woods

On the first really cold day of the season, Bill took the camera for a walk down to the beaver pond. Join him for a look at the beautiful woods that surround us.

Bill should be our “roving” correspondent. Great winter tour of the pond and hermitage!

Wonderful videos! Thanks for the reminders to slow down, to appreciate, to notice- music, birds, unique foods and snow filled woods

Thank you especially for the birds. Reminded me of my father of blessed memory whose major occupation before he died was to watch and feed cardinals and tit mice.
