Though our vegetable garden in Saint Fiacre Field by the river has had some amount of setbacks due to deer, the heirloom calabacitas (squash) assigned to our completely protected cloister garden, are doing great. You can almost watch then grow by the day!
We look forward to harvest time, both from the designated vegetable garden and from the little patch of squash in the cloister.
It appears rain has once again ceased in our spot of northern New Mexico, so we are back to praying for more, versus prayers of thanksgiving for rains received, of a week or so ago.
In the midst of desert beauty we carry in with trust in God’s providential care.
Blessed Sunday and week ahead.
Abbot Christian and the monks
