Some beautiful cool weather

The picture on the left is taken in the tree grove to the north of St. Michael Hall. The Stations of the Cross were made by Brother Damian and the trees were planted by Brother Damian.

After so much hot and humid weather the last few days have been great with the temperature in the upper 70's and low to mid 80's. Early this morning it was almost too cool but it is much enjoyed after the hot weather. It is supposed to get up to about 90 again the first part of next week but then cooler again.

This afternoon I went out for a long walk and took some pictures. I need to walk and enjoy so much more walking outside rather than on a treadmill.

This is Labor Day weekend. Monday the students do not have classes but they do have a day of recollection. This is like a one day retreat, beginning Sunday evening and concluding Monday evening. Then Monday evening the monks and the students traditionally have a picnic.

They have started work putting a new copper roof on St. Michael Hall. The roof has been leaking so we decided it was time to put a roof on the building like we already have on the monastery, church, St. Maur Hall, St. Raphael Hall and the infirmary. They have taken the old shingles off and have started the trim work with the copper.
