June Trip

Over the course of nine days we traveled 2316 miles across thirteen states. Our northeast region is complete with ~

farms, factories, and funeral homes
garden centers, gravel pits, and gas stations
car dealers, train yards, and truck stops
power plants and playgrounds
churches, schools, and hospitals.

It came to mind that our country of rural and urban, grass and concrete, mountains and rivers is a nation made strong by our diversity and hard work.  I wish every politician would take the time to see what I saw ~
Factory on the Ohio River
Crossing from Ohio into West Virginia
The view up the Ohio River
Farmland in Virginia
Making hay
Building construction around George Mason University
Rebuilt Woodrow Wilson Bridge from VA into MD
Construction where hometown fields used to be
Bridge into Delaware
Today I am on my way to the coast of Maine for a few days of color and quilting.  I will let you know how it goes as the journey continues....

What a journey Sharon, that's a whole lot of miles to cover in so short a time. I think it does us all good to take such trips and reconnect with the land and with the lives of others. Looking forward to hearing of your continuing travels!
