Shout out to our newest community partner Lowe's Home Improvement. Associates from the two Athens locations volunteered at Sandy Creek Nature Center last week to complete several beautification projects, and Lowe's is also sponsoring some updates to the playscape area in the near future. Thank you Lowe's! 🐸💙

"It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings."

- Wendell Berry, 'Our Real Work'

Today we are meditating on the wise words of Wendell Berry. What are some of your favorite nature-themed writings? 🐸
