It's rural here, and the pastures in any season are gorgeous. Right now it is still in the low 80s and the overnight temps are in the low 60s. There has been little rain, though, and the fields are brown. Pardon the dimness of the photos, I took them while driving at speed through tinted dark glass... Oh well.
Leaving school, the skies are blue-blue-blue with gorgeous puffy clouds.
I whizz past pastures with occasional barn.
Poor barn! Poor shed! Needs repair...
Chicken barns! Agribusiness dominates the local economy, with poultry production particularly important. Farm gate is over 300 million for this small county. Horses are also raised here.
Approaching Gholston's Stand, so named (the oral tradition goes) because of a skirmish between county settlers the Gholstons and their neighbors, and the local Creek Indians, in the 1700s. Read about the tale here. Still loving those clouds.
The traffic is a killer.
A large, fine home. With a fantastic rock wall.
A nearby farmstead. Getting close now.
One of the other county schools. I live close by. I hear the opening and dismissing bell, the busses crank up, and the children at recess.
There's Ralph's Farm Stand. Hi Ralph!
A church on every corner. Literally. There are two other churches within stone's throw. Both are mine, we own two buildings. This one is sad...hardly anyone goes.
My street. Man, I really need to clean my windshield.
The shed on the property. And the small herd of sheep. Hello sheep!
I'm home. 6 miles, 10 minutes, from a great apartment to a great school and pretty all the way. Life is good!
