News from the sticks

We flipped the central unit in the house to heat last night. After the rain swept through earlier in the week, the skies have been remarkable.

I put miles on my wheels today. I had an appointment with my dermatologist at 8 a.m. so I had to be rolling by 7.

In Birmingham, I saw hundreds of photo ops but the traffic was brutal. Out here in the country where Jilda and I live, it's much slower. 

I ran by the Forks again today for a moment. Pulling the phone from my pocket, I snapped a picture of Mulberry Bridge. 

Tonight, Jilda made fish tacos. Yum.

Not much else happening in the sticks.

Night.

    And, as a PS life in the sticks/life in the city? No contest. None.

  3. Many folk envy where you live, but not your treks in the big city. Since we are now a bedroom for the city, our little quiet mill town is NO LONGER that, and the original residents ain't happy bout it and want to move out with you! ;=)

  4. Love the photo....but those opportunities have to be taken with a care for safety, so glad you didn't do that while in the city! You two are lucky to live in a quiet area.

  5. Is that bridge still used? It looks like it has a history.

    1. Yes this bridge is on Sipsey Road and is a main thoroughfare from our part of the county. I cross that bridge daily. The small river flowing under it is the Mulberry and it flows into the Sipsey Fork of the Black Warrior River.

      Native Americans lived in a settlement on the banks of the Warrior River not 500 feet from where I was standing when I took this picture.

  6. You are so blessed to live in the sticks where life is lived at a much slower pace. I could never take the traffic of the big cities. I don't live in the country but in a small town and that is almost just as good
