Do you remember Country Roads,

Well, I had the opportunity to explore
very similar roads to those with our
daughter Rebecca and our granddaughter
Molly.
They do not live in
West Virginia, but they do live
country...
Acres upon acres of cornfields which meet
seemingly endless horizons.
Sweet earthy smells of fertile soil.
Creeks filled with abundant water.
Livestock grazing in gentle pastures.
I left the confines of the city far behind.
Blinking lights, horns blaring, engines
idling, not here, not now.
Bull Frogs croaking, crickets singing,
mooing, neighing, comforting sounds of
nature.
Soothing, calming, quiet, restful.
Precious time spent with precious family.
Have you traveled down any Country Roads
this Summer?

ReplyDeleteEven though I live in the suburbs, it's a small town with a lot of country roads, farm fields, trees, horses grazing, etc. Love the drives on a beautiful, sunny day. Glad you enjoyed your drive...and spending time with your beautiful daughter and granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such inspiring pictures! Thank you for visiting and following - I've done the same and look forward to enjoying your wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Jemma! Yep, I remember that song. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Jemma,
ReplyDeleteWhen a city girl, (that would be you), ventures out into the country, magic happens and that's what I see in your amazing photos of the wonders of nature! Your daughter and granddaughter are lovely! I can see the resemblance! Thanks so much for sharing!

What a wonderful post! I love singing along with John Denver to that song.
ReplyDeleteI suppose we live down a country road. Both of my sisters do, and and my parents do, too! My brother is the black sheep of the family - he lives where there is pavement. ;)

I travel country roads on a daily basis..... and thankful to be able to do so :)
