my surrounding countryside

i have had a very busy week. i finally got my son jesse's books for homeschooling so i have been pouring over the lessons trying to get him started. we are combining his jr. and sr. year because he was ahead with credits. but it is a challenge to know how to best accomplish this.

also my son ethan, had his first accident trying to avoid hitting a deer. no one was hurt but he has been without his car and wanting to borrow dh 's truck.

plus he was looking for a job.

our youngest abbey, had an audition for the nashville nutcracker and made it so there are extra practises and meetings to go to.

but no matter what when i drive around in my countryside something peaceful takes over.

i love the hay covered fields on my road.

we live on a very long winding road with few houses.

it makes for a lovely thought provoking drive.

the leaves are just starting to blush with fall colours.

there is a coolness to the breezes blowing.

a single blossom catches my eye.

against the blue sky a dragonfly is perched on bare branches.

a skipper alights an orange bloom.

bee is busily gathering pollen.

we call these faux apples and i love the textural aspect of them.

stick bug is playing on the cosmos.

all is right with the world after my drive.
