Here you have the remains of a badminton court on which a generation or two of nuns played on summer afternoons. Part of the convent's grounds was sold to a developer a couple of years ago and condos have gone up on its slope. I'm not sure if the badminton court was included in the deal--one of the buildings appears to be still used by the order--but certainly it has been abandoned. From which comes the lesson for this week.
Which is that everyone needs a little fun, even women who have dedicated their lives to their deity, and nature is strong. Goldenrod is everywhere this summer, its beautiful plumes shining in the afternoon light. Glad to see that it is taken over this place where afternoons were once used for recreation of another sort.
