Morning breaks. Sunshine filters through immense trees beckoning me to take a ride down country roads. The family prepares for a Sunday outing, reminiscent of my childhood days. Quiet roads lead us to our destination, Sky Meadows State Park.

Join me as I:
Stroll through autumn's golden trails
and rolling pastures rich in history.
Listen to the "Country Shredder"
strumming his old-time banjo tunes.
Watch graceful farm hens prance around.
Imagine colonial farm life in a century-plus old
kitchen warmed by an immense stone hearth.
Stare into the embers glowing with color, a
black cast-iron kettle filled with cornbread,
and delicious pumpkin butter waiting on the table.
Find autumnal bliss; gaze into the grand expanse.
Notice and wonder about country farm life
on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

This writing was drafted this morning but did not have time to work on my Tuesday Slice of Life until now. Each week I join Two Writing Teachers to add my #TuesdayThoughts in the form of a slice.

Strolling through golden trails, warm kitchen, cornbread - autumn in its fullest.
