sunday drive

Helton Creek Falls
the open road is calling
feel the wind in your hair
the sun on your arms
see the layers of blue mountains
smell the fresh cut hay
watch the ribbon of road
narrow into the horizon
through the wavy heat lines


It is American as apple pie, ingrained for generations, centuries even. We have been encouraged to travel, see the country. Go West young man! See the USA in your Chevrolet. Get your kicks on Route 66.

With the price of gas, we no longer just hop into the car and drive around. Sure it is easy enough during the work week to not run to town for every little thing, to save up all errands for one trip, saving on gas and money.

But on Sunday, it is a different thing altogether. On Sunday, the sun is shining, the road is calling…

Desoto Falls

We went in search of waterfalls and found Desoto Falls, Helton Creek Falls, and beautiful daylilies.
