Those of you living in the New York area know that the winter of 2007-08 has—until now—been a very mild one with very little snow. However, on February 22, 2008 we had a visit from "Old Man Winter"! Here are some photos taken around the grounds of Tagaste Monastery in Suffern and at St. Mary's Villa in Sloatsburg showing the severe and frosty beauty of the foliage during and after the storm. Let's look around us and see how the wonder of nature testifies to the goodness of God!
