Though it was still quite cold, the predictions for weather out into WaKeeney, Kansas were free of freezing rain or snow, so I left the comfort of family once again and headed out for the long drive across Kansas. Instead of being in the land of Oz, I spent my day under heavy clouds and harvested fields of black, brown, beige, and everything in between. Sometimes I’d see some green. Perhaps that was Oz.
While I love to visit my family, I do wish they lived somewhere besides Metropolitan Denver. Sorry, just don’t like it. As I made my way across Eastern Colorado I began to enjoy the wide open spaces and some sunshine. All the trees, bushes, and grasses were tipped with ice. The temperature actually got to 48 degrees at one point.
The endless fields have given their all for the year and a well deserved rest is in order. A feeling of dormancy grew deeper as I rolled through mostly treeless spaces. Yes. That is where we are headed now: dormancy, contemplation, regeneration under the cover of frozen ground.
On one building along the highway I was informed that “Happiness is a Can of Beans” in huge letters across the top. I’ll leave that out there.
Nearing my destination I reached 7,000 miles on my trip. And I thought that would be the entire length of my trip before I left! I’m about 2,000 miles from home though home is taking on a new definition as I travel the earth. Oh dear, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home, and it’s my car!
