Pumpkins, Birds and Bamboo!
If you've ever been to Kadavul Temple, then you may have noticed that off to the right side of the temple there is a little bamboo gate and fence that separates the cloistered area of the monastery from the area that guests may enter. After years in the elements this fence was in need of a rebuild. This last week the monks of the Siddhidatta Kulam teamed together to create the new and improved gateway.
In other news our monks have been growing some wonderful pumpkins in the garden, and while our current patch has been slowing, more have been planted. Today Chinnu made a wonderful pumpkin dish for lunch.
As a sure sign of spring, the monastery's cockatiels have successfully raised a new baby bird for the first time. These little parrots have been overjoyed to have their new family member and just yesterday he peaked his way out of his nesting box for the first time. Aum.
