Spring is here in full force. The potatoes have been planted for this year. We are still eating the potatoes we harvested last year. They should last until June.

Every year a few days before Christmas a few sisters go out to the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree for our refectory. We have a tree farm and lots of woods so there are many to choose from. This year we chose a Norway spruce. It is a very wide tree.
