'Sweetbriar' was chosen in honor of our life in and relationship with Christ which make living sweet, but also acknowledges the briars inherent in a sin-filled world (Micah 7:4a). 'Patch' is a nod to the CiRCE Institute, Wendell Berry, the Southern Agrarians, the Inklings, and Frodo Baggins & the Shire, and refers to rootedness, covenant community, and our own little patch of ground.
This photo came from my very talented friend, Teri! Thank you, dear!

Gorgeous! That's the way to do it.
ReplyDeleteI was reading that very book with pressed coffee and a chocolate pastry this morning!
My coffee is cold-brewed (although it's caramel crème tea in the pot in the picture); and that's no-rBST heavy cream in the cow-creamer and demerara sugar in the sugar bowl. We were out of biscotti when I found some Tuesday evening at Fresh and Easy (our newest grocery shopping find), a smallish fresh and organic foods market that opened recently a couple miles from our house, with great values, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the photo!
