Yesterday, Julie and I traveled ‘round the dirt roads to the southwest of where we live in Michigan. It is the first time since last fall and it felt so good. Like coming home together. This time is so very special, although it is hard for me to define why. We experience solitude but also the excitement of new ‘finds’.
We frequently don’t have a destination when we start, but always arrive at where we need to be. This week we went ‘round dirt road we had never found before and this surprised us. We went ’round, turning left and right to follow the dirt, sometimes ending up where we started only to turn onto a new dirt road. We found Straight Road that took us ’round to where we were hungry and heading back towards lunch.
Here are a couple favorite rounds I found on our ’round about.
Silo covered with ivy vines and shadows.
Fence post with round hole & pipe – once painted purple. Notice the saw marks.
Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week is Round. I hope you get ’round to visiting her here:

We, friend Julie & I, go out once almost every week and look for these types of treasures close to home. I’m glad you enjoy them, too. 🙂

And when we get outside the Midwest, it just isn’t the same. Other places aren’t better or worse, just very different.
