View from the Road

Sleepy old barn –

Slump-shouldered elder

of rural life;

eyelids drooping, yet

aware of possibilities

for future service.

Harvest stripes

over rolling hills-

perfect mechanized

penmanship, punctuated

periodically by cell towers

blinking their approval.

Trail of turbines

traversing ridges,

elegant blades

born of a beautiful idea –

bigger, much bigger

than we think;

waiting for a way to

spare friendly fliers.

Stella Castellaw

There are so many interesting things to see while riding along.  I like to think about both the historic and modern aspects of country life.  Many things have changed, but the land and what we put on it still provides us with things that we consider essential.
