I love driving across America. Alone. For days. I love it! Everything I see stimulates my eyes, every farm is new, every plowed field is beautiful.
I know several people who think I'm crazy.
This last trip was no exception. One day I drove from Missouri to Iowa. The day started out sunny and beautiful, but as I drove north I was in and out of rainstorms. I love this drive in particular - straight up highway 63. It is hilly, in and out of small towns, through a small patch of Amish homesteads, right through amazing farm country.
Beautiful!
Spring has arrived. In the midwest the earth is a tapestry of color - new shoots of corn and beans blaze across fields showing off just how green they can be.
wide open farms
watch storm clouds pass
drinking up each drop
Storm swept plain welcomes spring,
green shoots rising up with open palms.
The birds sense rain
and fly home
nestling in their beds
The world spins.
Seasons change.

Love, love, LOVE the cloud picture!!!
I love driving across America, too, especially the Midwest. And especially not on interstates. I wish I could have joined you, driving, chatting, laughing, listening to music, dozing, talking, praying, just being sisters. One day.... But that would take away your Alone driving time. :-) Lisa
