Sorry for the lack of posts. I promise to try and do better, but it is difficult at times traveling at least four days a week as I do, then having my grandbabies part of the weekend (no complaints there - lol).
My "territory" as we say in the sales business includes all of West Virginia, Virginia, Ohio, and a small portion of Pennsylvania.
In my travels, the leaves are rapidly turning gold, yellow, and burnished looking. Such beauty! God is busy being the wonderful, amazing artist that He is, and I am constantly in awe of His talent.
Autumn is absolutely my most favorite time of year! So much so, I've written a poem about it and have also included it in one of my song lyrics.
But, if you would like a closer look at West Virginia's scenic beauty Google Fayetteville, WV. There, you'll find fantastic pics of the New River Bridge (the longest arch span bridge in Eastern US) along with pictures of last years' Bridge Day.
Bridge Day happens the second or third Sunday of October each year (you'll find the exact date on the Fayetteville website), they close down one side of the interstate, allowing people to walk on the Bridge, and parachute off or bungee jump down into the Gorge.
If you are into thrill seeking, this is your event. Or, if just plain splendor and nature's beauty calls you, this same event would be for you as well. Plenty of it. Thrills and chills.
Once, while driving down through the Bluefields (WV & VA), it felt so surreal. Almost like being in an actual painting with all the thick foliage and burgeoning trees. God is so awesome to share such beauty with us, no?
Check back soon as I will begin posting pics of my many adventures along Life's Highway.
But for now, enjoy the poem, I'll probably post the song lyrics a bit later.
Be well; God bless.
Autumn
Gold leaves ride in on the blustery wind,
sailing gently to the ground.
The air grows light in the silvery night,
spreading coolness all around.
The Harvest Moon hangs low with an erie glow,
cascading moonbeams to the ground.
While the frost in the air seems to declare
"Summer's gone, Autumn abounds!"
