A Little Walk in the Park

Actually, a little drive through the countryside.

It's very pretty out here. We're technically in the Ozarks, although not in any mountains. Still, the roads can be hilly.

I went driving last Sunday, and had a fine time swooping up and down and around the curves on the little country highways and farm roads I came across. Luckily, such fine terrain is close by our hotel here.


There are no end of handsomely falling-down farm buildings and old silos, all dilapidated, returning to the earth from whence they came...


and theatrically blasted trees and shrubs, evidence of bad storms, awful winters, tornadoes, what have you...


signs of local economic activity...


and a sky telling me it's time to head home.

And in case I never got around to saying so before, Granny J, being able to take you driving around any place you'd like to go, for days and weeks and however long it stayed fun, is one of my definitions of heaven on earth.
