Morning Walk

I woke up early this morning to take a walk in the country. The highway in front of Jen’s house is pretty busy, so I got off it and onto a side road as quickly as I could. It was only coincidental that I followed a sign that said “baked goods” with an arrow pointing up a road to the right. I was soon well away from the main road and deep in the rolling hills of Rural Pennsylvania. And it was lovely in the low light of the morning sun. I saw wild turkeys and met a nice couple who were bird watching. They told me I might see hawks in addition to the turkeys. I told them I was from Grand Junction, named for the junction of the Colorado (Grand) River and Gunnison River. The man told me they didn’t know that and thanked me for teaching him something new about Colorado. It was kind of adorable.
