Out for an early, cold, windy,
long Saturday morning run
One of the great things about living in
a small town is that it's easy to get out of town
with your own two feet...and the pavement
lasts for only so long
Sadie is down in the creek somewhere
Frozen muddy roads through winter wheat
Sadie seeking shelter from the bitterly strong win
Following a railroad track further out of town.
Strong winds are blowing in snow clouds fast.
Found a road that lead me exactly
where I wanted to go: someplace new
Ended up on an Idaho highway.
"Good girl, Sadie. Let's turn
around and go home."
Sometimes the road cuts sharply down over the horizon and you
can't see where it leads. But you can smell the beauty of the world
and you've been down many roads before and trust that this one will
take you somewhere, too.
Sadie, how could you do without her? She is your best running mate. Nice pics and no ... nice weather.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading about your running adventures. I cannot imagine going so far but I'm happy for you, really!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of Palouse country. My grandmother still lives in Lewiston and these pictures remind me of long drives between Seattle & Lewiston.
Those are great pictures! I can't believe you're dealing with that...and we're ready to turn on the air conditioner.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest, Cole (4), was sitting next to me when I was reading your post. He is obsessed with trains and noticed the train pics immediately. We had to blow them up and look at them big. :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, really neat pics!
And Mel we have already turn on the AC. Actually it is running right now at 9 in the morning.
Truly priceless! Breathtaking pictures. Makes me wanna jump into the pictures and have the whole world to myself for a moment.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the photos.
ReplyDeleteNicely written!!

I jast just telling my Scott that I needed some "new" to run on. Doesn't take me long to get burnt out.
Always good to see Saddie!
Ahhhhh dude looks nice :-) If you like snow and all :P (Yeah who am I kidding? We still have some here too HAHA!)
ReplyDeleteI love this line - "Found a road that lead me exactly
ReplyDeletewhere I wanted to go: someplace new". I think it is going to be my new motto.
