Notice instead, the bright, beautiful day.
The glorious rural scenery; a handsome farm is framed in my windshield, there where I wait in the visitor's lot. There are cows on that hill and ducks and geese in the creek along the bottom....Check out the comfortable cab of my (nasty-gas-sucking) SUV (which gets up the driveway, which chances to be my main concern in vehicular virtue).
Trees changing all gold and russet. Green pastures, late alfalfa, and burnished corn fields, row on row. Aspens glowing against the dark evergreens. Hills and valleys set in sharp relief by the rays of the low -lying sun. Every inky shadow a counterpoint to some shining thing in that brilliant spotlight.
Add good music in the CD player and good company both ways and the ride and the reading time make a nice change from my usual days....still I DO wish that girl would get her driver's license.
Unpaid bills and beautiful poetic prose - all in one post. You do have a poet's soul . . . . one that likes to laugh. Nice combination.
ReplyDeleteCathy, you are so sweet! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking similar thoughts yesterday as I was driving my bus. All that sunshine and rural scenery. It was just a spectacular day!
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy, it was very lovely and the valley in Schoharie County is beautiful almost any day. I love driving down out of our county and I only wish there was some place to pull the car off the road to get some pictures, but it is narrow rural road...no shoulders
