Please take a little trip with me; it is only about 7 miles, all along country roads, until just before my work.
Usually I enjoy every bit of the way, but not driving on these roads TODAY.
Part of the beautiful farm ground has given way to a clump of houses called a subdivision. It is smack dab in the middle of farms, but I guess that is cool, ………………… I guess.
I get to go by a swamp, a lovely little creek and a stretch of cattails,
Until I hit the main highway. U.S. Highway 50.
I am usually early enough to work I don’t have much ‘rush-hour’ traffic. I am glad about that on days like today.

Looks mighty cold!!! I guess that is the tradeoff to having it so green there though. I’m jealous a bit 🙂

I enjoy going on little trips with you! Our roads are like that today too. Some new white stuff for the kids to play in.

Good grief I don’t miss that kind of weather. Indiana was not but I don’t remember it being that bad.

Very pretty to look at but I know the roads are treacherous. In Georgia today, the skies were so very blue with a high of 61 degrees. We seldom get to see what you experienced today.

Where’s the mud? That drive looks scary in that weather. How long does it take you?

I feel the same way about, uh, progress (?) All these big new houses are going up out in Loma and Mack, and while I know that’s the way it goes, its still kind of sad to see the place I remembered disappear. Send some of that snow our way! 🙂

Gorgeous! Better than looking at a house a few paces next to you on both sides and across the street.

Your road look like ours..snow packed and slick..it takes longer to go everywhere. Today some idiot did a huge sliding u turn right in front of us..luckily both of us realized he was travelling too fast and we pulled off the road as far as we could:(

I love seeing your area-it is so much colder there than up here. We haven’t had snow for almost two weeks but you sure get it there. I love driving back roads and in the country and especially around farms.
Stay safe and warm Linda.

I still just can’t imagine folks driving around in snow. Do you know everything, and I mean everything shuts down around these parts when the least amount of white stuff comes out of the sky??
I enjoyed the ride with you, thank goodness it was you driving though. lol..
Have a good and safe week.

Please be careful driving on those roads! An online friend of mine from Colorado too died last year in a car accident on icy roads and so I can’t help but be nervous!
I wanted to let you know I nominated you for the Lemonade Stand Award! You can read about it on my blog. I thought of your blog because it is always interesting and fun to read. It is one of my favorite blogs to read.

4 hours is all? Terry doesn’t have alot of sit in him does he? LOL
Truly I am with Terry on this one! I dont quite know how Daryl did it with the 19 hrs in the tractor and I forget how many in the combine. I was there for the moving of the combine. Seth and I went ahead and got everything settled in the motel, took nap, and got very impatient waiting. Finally we went out to the land and drove all over the countryside before they ever showed up. Of course we couldnt say anything as Clark and Tessa were the “pilot car” and they were sooooo sick of it! And Daryl…he was happy as ever. I do really question him sometimes!!LOL

I just found your site from another’s blog and the pictures are great. Just when we start talking about retiring to Colorado we see photos like this and change our minds. We go to South Fork every summer and would love to move there some day. Guess we would just have to make it a summer home. Great post.

I enjoyed traveling with you but it is not cool at all to see a subdivision sprouting up in the middle of farm land, especially in rural Colorado. We’re holding on here to our land but it sure is a fight. Who is going to feed us when all the farms are gone?
