Sunday evening Stephanie and I returned from an epic 10 day trip to the Rocky Mountains, where we visiting Glacier National Park in Northern Montana, Banff and Jasper National Parks in Alberta and Yoho National Park in British Columbia. We travelled with 13 other young Catholics from the Dioceses of Superior, La Crosse, Duluth and St. Paul -- including our diocese's newest priest Fr. Patrick McConnell.
Given the difficulty of posting large quantities of photos on the blog, we set up a Magdalen Farm Facebook account at which I posted 65 pictures this morning. We did do a couple of Magdalen Farm videos as well during the journey which I will endeavor to post both here and at Facebook.
Apparently the 70/35 degree temps we enjoyed in the mountains were a touch cooler than those enjoyed by you all in the midwest while we were gone. The garden exploded with growth due to the heat and humidity. The corn and sunflowers rocketed sunward and are beginning to grow their fruit and all of the other warm weather crops seem to be doing marvelously as well.An enormous thanks to Mike and Sue (Stephanie's parents) for their generosity in farm-sitting and Don and Arlene (Stephanie's grandparents) for Hildy-sitting!
We hope to have an actual farm update available for you soon!
