SEPTEMBER 2005 - Offering Service Weekend

The offering service weekend of Sept 16-18 had many folks from near and far come and give a helping hand on the writing studio, the main house and the garden.

Venerable takes a break from the computer and helps out with the cleaning of the house siding
Nerea adds a smile to the fun but messy task of oiling the house siding.
Pete, Jan and Nanc work on finishing up the corrugated metal on the community room.
Chris (other wise known as Spiderman) cleans the old caulk from the house from 25 feet. Not a problem he said!
Barbara weeds the new garden bed hiding under the bed of straw. Next year, roses and lavender will grow here.
When in doubt do it by hand. Nanc uses her Dad's grass clippers to edge out the perennial bed. Dad would be happy to see them being used.
Kristen our young friend from Missoula made this great sign for the abbey garden.
Morgan, one of the abbey's construction advisors and volunteers gets the writing studio ready for the framing inspection. Nothing gets by Morgan!
Deb, a frequent volunteer at the abbey, helps to get the flower garden ready for winter, removing old summer flowers and weeds.
Jan who is overseeing the summer projects gets into the oiling meditation for relaxation.
