On my way home from the retreat, I stopped at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, Georgia. It is a peaceful place. The Trappist Monks are very welcoming, and have a shop where they sell bread, fudge, rosaries, and other things that they make here. They also have a bonsai greenhouse. I have been there with my brother a few times to visit with Brother Paul, who is a bonsai expert. I don't know if he is still there. It was Sunday, and the commercial enterprises were closed. I would like to return one day when I can wander around again.

How wonderful that you have a place you can go to for peace and advice about plants as well. Bonsais have always intrigued me.
Sounds like a nice place.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time - the setting looks just perfect! So beautiful!.. too bad the monastery was closed, that fudge would have been good!
and, thanks for sharing the pictures of the retreat and the quilts...
