The wind turbines are all set up and they are working on them everyday to get them ready to start producing electricity. Many of them they have had running at various times as they are testing them. I thought I would give you some information on the size of these windmills. The height of the hub (that is up to where the blades are located) is 262.5 feet. The length of each blade is 139.5 feet. That means from the ground up to the top of the top blade is 402 feet. Each blade weighs 14,771 lbs. The weight of the rotor with the blades is 77,541 lbs. So you can see that these are immense machines. For more pictures of the wind turbines go to:

The bottom picture is of one of our flowering trees here on campus. Everything seems to be blooming at once so the campus is beautiful right now. More pictures of the campus that I took just today can be found at http://kennethosb.smugmug.com/gallery/2352186_M6vGA
Last Wednesday was our traditional May Day. It turned out to be a pretty nice day although we continue to have a lot of rain.
This is the last week of school in the seminary. Next Sunday, May 11, Pentecost Sunday, is graduation and the students then leave for the summer.
