Burk's Garden

An overview to Burk's garden, Tazwell, VA.

Cathy McClanahan, a retired school teacher that has become a good friend. She was born the daughter of a coal miner, grew up in southwest Virginia and joined the church about five years ago, after a long search for the truth. She knows the history of the Virginia people, the culture and the land.

Cathy loves to be in nature...close to God...and is taking me on occational day hikes.

One goal is to visit Burk's Garden and hike along the Apalacian Trail to see the beauty of

"God's thumbprint" in all four seasons.

Not bad for a picture taken through the front window of the car,

driving to Welch for District meeting.

So far the roads have not frozen, and the snow only lasts a couple of days,

so I think it offers the beauty of a winter wonderland.

It was hilarious.
