So Blessed!

Chelsea's new job is over in one 

of the nearby tourist towns.

It is about a half an hour from 

our home.  

But, even as I know that 

there will be days

when this commute is not desirable,

I find myself looking

forward to it today 

with great anticipation.

You see, a few years back

Chelsea and Jonathan worked

at a Corn Maze in that direction.  

I came to love the drive.

There are winding roads 

with trees that lean and make 

the road all cozy.

Sheep that graze as I pass

....all fluffy and wooly.

I don't care if 

they are stupid animals, 

I love to see a pasture full 

of these adorable creatures.

The leaves are changing 

and the views are

so very lovely. 

I will come to the crest of a 

hill and look out over the valley.

I will be reminded of the many people

who inhabit the homes dotted all over 

the countryside.  

Some plain folk and 

others English.

That is what the 

non-Amish are called

in these parts.

I will pass One Room Schoolhouses with 

scooters lined up ever so neatly and on a 

good day there will be energetic Amish 

children playing a game of baseball 

in the yard.

More likely than not 

I will have to carefully

pass a buggy.  

Waving at the occupants as 

I pass.  

They nearly always have 

a wave and a smile 

to share.  

Oh, I love this drive.....

I am so blessed that this is the path

in which I get to travel on the days that 

Chelsea works.

I do hope you are finding joy in the 

regular things of your day.

The beauty of His creation....

time spent alone with Him.
