Back Roads

-
What a joy to have Adam (our oldest son) and Allegra (our lovely daughter-in-law) with us this weekend!

We went to Backroads Coffee Shop this morning -- and then took a back roads scenic "long cut" home! We saw a flock of Canadian geese, a momma wood duck with her ducklings, and a baby loon. It was awesome - and we would have missed the whole show if we had staid on the main roads.

That's the way life is -- the best treasures are nestled away where the paths are unworn.

Adam has a new blog! Pay him a visit here.

    I'm curious - - - what "long cut" did you take?

    I have GREAT childhood memories of Sunday Afternoon "rides" out to the Nelson Flowage to see how much wildlife we could spot.

    Highway T winding by Smith Lake to Nelson Lake and then cutting across a logging road.

    Hmmmm - - - maybe that was our Sunday afternoon ride. :-)

    I do have LOTS of logging and fire trail stories to tell - - - - -

    Maybe that would be good fodder for my OWN blog.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
