These are more shots taken on my ride home from Shackelfords last Friday afternoon.
These first two were on Pear Tree Road (or Lane, I can't recall, but it's a cut-through from Route 14 to Route 33).

| It's as if the green can't contain itself--it must creep up that pole and venture across the road. |
At the risk of being banned from the blogosphere,
I'd like to state for the billionth time once again
how much I love all the green on display these days.
The photo above was not taken while standing in the road,
believe it or not taken near Thousand Trails campground on Route 198.
Last but most certainly not least is
my favorite little house in the area.
my favorite little house in the area.
Isn't it cute?
(I can't hide my adoration for old buildings, but use of the word "cute" to describe a house in a cornfield comes from sheer exhaustion, plain and simple. I believe I also called the lids to crab baskets cute not long ago--click here. Evidently I've needed a nap since Spring.)
Speaking of sheer and utter exhaustion driving, my son calculated that with all the miles driven this week for doctor appointments (and the couple of days I went to work), we could be as far west as Indianapolis. If we'd driven south, we'd be only a couple hundred miles from Miami.
(That's when I shared a story from my college years that involved three silly girls driving a Volkswagen from Charlottesville to Miami straight through, stopping only to change drivers. The moral of the story was if you think high school students can be stupid, college students are even stupider. More stupid. Er. The secondary moral of the story was, "You mean we could be in Florida right now?!")

The good news is the tests came out OK and his surgery has been scheduled for September 5, the first week of school.
This weekend I'm looking forward to absolutely no driving and hopefully lots of laughter Saturday night with my children, my parents and my two sisters, who are coming into town.
Hope your weekend is wonderful.
