Prayer retreat at Adelynrood

I was gifted a two-night prayer retreat at Adelynrood in Byfield, Massachusetts. I prayed, photographed, read, wrote, rested and connected with strong and spunky religious women.

My first day, I wandered with my iPhone as camera. Adelynrood is an H-shaped wooden building from 1914. The dark old wood contrasts with bright white curtains; I never tire of looking at that combination. Walls and shelves and nooks are adorned with statues, flowers, paintings, framed sayings. The second day, I attended Quiet Day with Mary Oliver's Poetry.
