The Big Thaw

Things are thawing out today - sunny and 25 degrees F!
But this little tree in the courtyard still wants to hold as big a snow ball as it can!

Francis on Valentine's Day

St. Francis is a very patient person, but even he is getting tired of the snow. Here he is on Valentine's Day, carrying the snow on his shoulders as if it is his favorite snow leopard.

Ash Wednesday Blizzard

The snow fell on Ash Wednesday - at least 16 inches. Here are some pics of our center courtyard: the snow blows in off of the roof, then gets trapped there. We'll soon be tunneling like hamsters in a Habitrail!
