A Year In a Month




 A trip to WNY gave me a chance to spend a couple nights at Mt. Irenaeus, the Franciscan retreat I wish I could get to more often.  I usually end up helping Brother Joe cut trees, but he was too tired from a tough day, so he gave me a paintbrush and asked me to blaze some of the trails.  There was some confusion with people mistaking property lines for blazes which has led to a cross-blaze system to keep people on the right path.  I decided to put in a few steps on the steep banks at a creek crossing. 


A treat on this visit was meeting the architect who designed all their buildings and is working on a new one.  You really should go there sometime to see what he, Dan, and the other friars have done.  It is a real treasure.
