These roadside pics document autumn in Virginia. They are taken through the car window while driving our 85 miles to stake conference in Pembroke yesterday and today.
It's miles and miles of rolling hills and winding roads. There is no north or south in directions given by local residents. Example: "Go two far-sees and turn at the barn with three dogs." A far-see means drive as far as you can see, the road will turn, and you drive as far as you can see again.
I especially like the trees that are yellow-orange. In real life the colors are so vibrant they almost look florescent.
This morning as we left our apartment we could see our breath. For desert dwellers like Karl and I, this was exciting. I'm sure the new will rub off very quickly, but for a moment today we were sending each other puff signals and having fun.
Wow! That is funny, but useful. A new way to entertain oneself while driving.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if you'd get any "far-see"s. That was something Andrew told us about his time in the mission, too! Also, I hope the newness never wears off--sending each other puff signals is exactly the sort of silly fun that will keep you young. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat is a "stake" conference? Oh autumn in the East is a special treat for desert dwellers. Can't wait for more fun posts :-)
