I had a wonderful retreat this weekend at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Trappist, Kentucky. My oldest daughter Anne goes with me every year. The silence is so refreshing. Getting there though was something of a nightmare. We had to drive through the entire state of Ohio during their huge snow storm. The roads were terrible. But the snowy abbey was so peaceful for the rest of the weekend.
Above was the view from my room.
sweet little angel.... The snow was shifting in the wind like sand.
We did manage one hike through the snow....

What beautiful photos! It looks like it was a lovely retreat.
I'm intrigued by the name of the town, wow!
Thank you for sharing these photos. I'm a bit jealous! Beautiful!
Thank you all. Mimi, Trappist is the name of the order of monks. Catherine, thanks for visiting my blog.
That I knew, Rosemary, but that the town named itself after the Monastary is pretty cool!
Looks wonderful..
