Down Country Roads Down country roads, I drove today And watched the farms along the way. Times past, I knew this life so well. Before the city worked its spell. The houses have a friendly air. I see both cows and horses there. There are some fields where grass is high And playing children catch my eye. Along the lanes, spring flowers grow. There are so many that I know. Sweet trilliums, beneath the trees And violets,are some of these. Each valley has its own delight. I drive until approaching night Spawns beads of light in yard and home. I've had my day to dream and roam And so I turn the car around. Stop by a pond to hear the sound Of singing frogs, so much a part Of living in the country's heart! Betty Lou Hebert |

Betty....yes it was good homesick...am actually back in the country and am loving it, but as a child...oh my the memories. spent many many years in "sin city" and to be back in the country is indeed a treat. we won't be in this particular part of the county for long, but will not be moving back to city either. I hear Montana is beautiful. Annie there is but a short time to exist, love,laugh,live and never stop believing in miracles |

Dear Annie: Parts of Montana are very beautiful, but there is some rather desolate country there too. Same as most states I guess. Depends on where you are thinking of going! Good luck with the move when it happens. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Beautiful. It reminded me of a day out shooting photography. I bet it is so serene there. |
