Rural Issue #206

"I drove behind a tractor" is a valid excuse for being late to anything...

Heading home on Etzler. If you take a right, you will end up at the Botetourt Sports Complex. The boys play baseball there in the spring/summer and we have football practice there in the late summer/fall. Plus the trails from Greenfield, which I yap about all the time, come through here.

You liking that time change over the weekend? I am so excited about it. Picked Christian up from work at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday and it was still light!

Today I am taking Braden and Dalton and a few of their friends to the movies after school to see Escape From Planet Earth. It's a belated birthday party for them. Their 11th birthday was on Feb 2nd but with everyone's basketball schedules it made it difficult to plan something with their friends. Should be a fun time. :)

  3. The country roads around here are so narrow that if you get stuck behind a tractor, you are 'stuck' :). It IS snowing here. I am so happy seeing it again!!!!

  5. The first time I drove behind a tractor after moving here from Vegas, I was THRILLED! You don't see such things in Las Vegas.

    Have fun at the movies! We might go see Oz.

  9. Cool perspective! I'm loving the time change, we lost an hour but now it's as light at 7pm as it was at 6pm!:)

  12. That is a common happening for me driving the back roads to and from school. Rockbridge County really got slammed by the weight of that snow. Parts of the county are STILL without power. We were part of the lucky one who got it back on Wednesday. Lost lots of branches, but that was all the damage we had. Hope you all were OK. genie

  14. That is a great excuse for us rural folks! :)
    Personally, I'm glad we DON'T do daylight savings here in Arizona because we prefer more light in the morning, especially this time of year.
