Now that the kids are older, Mr. Garner and I are re-discovering our love of hiking. Part of our decision to drive the Blue Ridge was in order to chase a few waterfalls!  North Carolina has gorgeous waterfalls.  If you’ve … Continue reading Wonder and Awe at Linville Falls!

I love the Blue Ridge Parkway!  Driving along the crest of the mountain chain, one is treated to mile after mile of purple mountain majesty, hidden valleys,  rippling hills, highland fields full of wildflowers, farms with sheep or cows grazing, … Continue reading Stumbling Over the Tanawha Trail

Enjoying an Old Fashioned Roadside Picnic

August 21, 2012August 20, 2012 Rabbit Trails

Mr. Garner and I both have childhood memories of roadside picnics during long distance car rides.  Back in the day, familiar fast food and restaurant chains were not to be found in every hamlet or village, so families traveling any … Continue reading Enjoying an Old Fashioned Roadside Picnic

The six-hour drive from Norfolk to our family farm tucked up amongst the gently rounded mountains of the Blue Ridge, is long.  We have taken many different roads to the farm in an effort to save time, improve food choices, and increase … Continue reading The Road Less Travelled…

Two Thousand X One

“Through all this ordeal his root horror had been isolation, and there are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematicians that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one. That is why, in spite of a hundred disadvantages, the world will always return to monogamy.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

The Task

Truth is eternal,
knowledge is changeable.
It is disastrous to confuse them.

Madeleine L'Engle

Push back against the age as hard as it pushes against you. What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course, it is the cross.

Flannery O'Connor

How is it possible?

How is it that God permeates the universe, that everything that is - comes from his hand; that every thought and emotion we have - has significance only in Him yet we are neither shaken nor inflamed by the reality of His presence, but able to live as though He did not exist? How is this truly Satanic deceit possible? Romano Guardini

Looking for Something?

O nata lux de lumine, Jesu redemptor saeculi, dignare clemens supplicum Laudes preces que sumere. Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis. Nos membra confer effici, tui beati corporis.
