On the road back home.

School is about to get rolling again for young people here is SE KS, just a few more weeks and summer will be over. Well the hot weather wont change but the routine will. I saw this quote on another blog today and it made me think of what we learn about as we go through and leave school. Hopefully we keep learning.

" Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty- five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things."

--Douglas Noel Adams

Things you come across on a gravel road #1. Camera critters

My World Tuesday

Yesterday I decided it was just too nice to do chores.  I loaded up the camera and went for a ride. Our part of the world still has gravel roads that wind through the countryside, up and down hills. Its hard to get lost as  most head east and west.

I came across this old church built in 1915, the last remnant of a once thriving town called Cato.

Mules and Horses sharing some shade.

Pastures

and creeks along the way, a lone coyote, red tail hawks, turkey buzzards, scissor tail flycatchers, all shared the mid day with me.
