Rural Roads in the Pineywoods

Rural Roads in the Pineywoods

When you take a rural road in these here Pineywoods, you never know what you might happen upon.  Last weekend, we went out to the deer lease just to get out of the house for a bit.  Our way home was stalled by. . .

a road block. . . a tree to be more specific.  Up ahead of us there were tall trees on either side of the road- the kind that shade the road when the sun’s out. But, I guess this time, the rain was just too much for one of the trees.  By the time we’d pulled up on the scene, an eighteen wheeler had already unhooked his trailer to see if he could pull the tree out of the road. And just as we were arriving, a welding truck pulled up, two men jumped out, and grabbed a pair of chain saws. 

In this neck of the woods, neighbors are always out there to help you- and their quick about it.  We don’t wait around for help to arrive- we make help happen.  But, in this case, the we, wasn’t quite we.  It just so happen that we were stopped by a barn.  So, I got my camera out and “entertained myself”.  It was raining, so I just stayed in the truck.  (The rain also explains why I couldn’t get any clear pictures of the scene in front of us through the windshield.)

About Me

Welcome! Hi all! I live in rural East Texas with my husband. I'm passionate about telling our everyday and rather ordinary story through words and pictures here on my blog and on my digitally scrapbooked pages. Geek. Creative. Problem Solver. Traditional. Introverted. Those are all words that you might use to describe me. I love to have fun while stilling keeping it calm and simple.

My thoughts

Does journaling stop you cold in your tracks? I think the thing to do is to just start by telling the story- like you're sitting down with someone looking at the picture and telling the story- just write what you would say if you were talking about the picture or the story behind the picture. Don't judge that writing! Just do it! The more you do it, the easier it will get. But, the bigger thing is, I think, the more you do it, the more your pages will make you smile as you look back on them.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
