Retreat closing

Now that our 2023 retreat is over, I thought I'd share some scenes from an afternoon walk I took on a peaceful, warm, sunny day here in Erie. Although we did have some of the overcast skies from the Canadian fires, we didn't have the visibility issues and severe fog-like scenes that we saw on the news programs from east coast cities.


Here's a whole field of phlox down on our Glinodo property.


And here's a look at part of our Lake Erie shore line. This day is was rocks and shale, 
some days it has quite a sandy beach.



This is a favorite tree for our guests in the hermitages, in the nearby woods. 
It is right outside hermitage #2 and can lend itself to interesting meditations!


In walking out of our nearby woods, we came upon this lone daisy in the grass. 
Hundreds of daisies are blooming right now, but they are all grouped, except...


And, finally, two trees in the library courtyard have their full summer bloom 
of whatever these are. Absolutely gorgeous.
