Rural

For One Word Sunday this week, Debbie has chosen the word ‘Rural’.

And for my take on the theme, I’ve taken a rural pathway from an earlier season in an earlier year. This was the Cheshire countryside, late Winter early Spring, several years ago. It’s nice as we all walk forward through life to look back every now and then. Where we were then and where we are now… in some ways exactly the same, and in others completely different.

Visit Debbie’s site for more takes on the theme.

    Looks to be a lovely path for a walk.

      It is, Beverly. It doesn’t really lead anywhere (in either direction!) but it’s a nice walk!

    There are plenty of paths in life that don’t lead anywhere but are still pleasant. This looks like a lovely place to walk there and back. 🙂

      Thanks, Janet. It is… quiet and reflective. 🙂

        My sort of walk. There’s enough noise and bustle in everyday life.

            It’s sort of relaxing but not in a bad way. I’ll be watching our church service soon and then getting ready for my parents to come over for dinner for Father’s Day. Right now I’m watering our poor plants that are certainly no happier with the high temperatures and no rain than we are, which means moving the hose every 20 minutes as the drip system in our rental house is broken. But a nice morning so far nonetheless (and I’m only 2 1/2 hours in.)

              Pleasurable, if warm! ☺

                Not warm, HOT. 😉. But yes, pleasurable.

                  (Sending comfortable cooler air your way) It’s cooler here, but I can feel a storm brewing… the clouds are heavy.

                    Oh, that you really could. We need rain even more than less heat, as does all the Southwest and West.

                      Here’s hoping for rain for you then. We’re never happy with the weather, are we?

                      Happy doesn’t have much to do with it. Where we live now averages 9″ of rain per year and since we moved in March of 2020, there’s been virtually no rain. So it’s more than happiness at stake!

                      Oh, no… I get that, Janet, just trying to make you feel a little better about it, if that’s possible. Can’t do much about it though, apart from hope for rain. And if I could, I’d send some your way. 🙂

                      I know, Tom. If you pray, prayers are always appreciate. But I appreciate the thoughts and repartee anyway.

    That’s a pretty path, even if the trees are winter-bare.

    No two paths are the same and it is about the journey, not the destination. 🙂 ❤

    Blessed Be my friend! 🙂 ❤
