CHITWOOD Virginia Salter quiet highway weaving along the Yaquina River nestled between hill and dale fast, slow almost spinning in autumn sparkling sunbeams filtered by deciduous and pine glisten off amber and coffee leaves as Yaquina flows silently outside window glass and tires’ hums rounding a bend a red-stained structure grabs our minds, hearts with nostalgic strokes calls us back to spend a few moments marveling, taking in the awesome span of time and of the river leaves rustle in the breeze, interrupted only by cars that whiz past, almost rock us off our feet and we smiling ear to ear beside ourselves with joy that we stopped to tarry, to steal a piece of the peace of yesteryear at Chitwood covered bridge © October 16, 2000 |

Viriginia, was a lovely mixture of rustic and modern. Write on Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |
