Greetings,
A few years ago, our Sister retired from her work as a hospital chaplain and moved home to the monastery. She continues to serve the community with her baking and gardening skills. After her move home, she added "viticulturist", the cultivation of grapes, to her repertoire.
Sister has been nurturing her two rows of 27 vines for four years. After watering, weeding, and protecting the vines from hungry turkeys, she has been harvesting grapes during the last couple years; however, this year was an amazing crop. She has picked 365 pounds of Valiant, Worden, Blue Bell, Concord, and St. Therese grapes.
These dark blue globes will be quickly packed away into the freezer. During the winter months, Sister Retiree will make juices, jams, and jellies for her monastery sisters. Her vine-ripened, sweet produce will soon be topping Sister Baker's breads and rolls...
Blessings,
