Eight years ago today

Eight years ago today, FarmWife and FarmHusband were married at the Peace Abbey in Sherborn while a looming, bronze Ghandi looked on. (Actually, he didn't: they were indoors, he was out.)

The guesthouse and chapel in Sherborn are now being relinquished due to financial difficulties, while the mission and programs of the Peace Abbey go on during a relocation to the University of Massachusetts Boston this summer.* The slaughterhouse and feedlot escapees who called the Abbey home have moved to Maple Farm Sanctuary.

Did YOU win the Mega Millions last week? If so, consider buying the Abbey buildings. It's a pretty amazing place. FarmWife is sad to see it go.

Peace,
Fen
