Celebration in the Garden

The garden is a source of great pride here at the LMC. It is quite large and offers a wonderful venue for worship, solitude, and parties! We have visitors coming regularly to spend the day in the garden Prayer Hut.

There are several April birthdays to celebrate here. Last night we celebrated Will's with a barbecue (interesting, since Will is a vegetarian). Every Monday night we have a "house meal" taking turns with he main dish. It was a wonderful evening in the garden.

Nothing new to report on the house. Plans were to be taping the drywall last week and this. We haven't heard how its going. We'll post a photo when we get one.

Cemetary resident of the week. (we actually visited the cemetary over Easter weekend. It is mostly overgrown and gnarly, but interesting) Sayers, Thomas (1826-1865) Last of the bare-fisted fighters. About 10,000 people attended his funeral.

That is a really neat picture of "LMC Garden In The Spring"! And it is still winter here. We had 4 inches of snow last weekend at the MCC Relief Sale in Hutchinson.

I looked at the LMC on Google Earth but I was not sure which house was yours; it doesn't focus on your area very well, about like it does on Harper, Kansas.

Spike (and others) - if you download the newest version if Google Earth and put in our address - 14 shepherds Hill, Greater London N6 5AQ - it will fly to the LMC and the focus is pretty good. Our flat is just under the roof on the left side of the building.

It looks beautiful! I'll bet Phyllis is enjoying spending time working in the garden! Did you get my picture of the tulips at your old house?

Wow! I could just sit in that garden for days! I'm afraid Colorado won't be able to compete with that. Spring looks good, I was in awe at the short sleeves. The rocks are still brown here, except when they are covered with snow. Sniff a flower for me!
