Today we drove around the beautiful country of Holmes County, Ohio.
The day was absolutely gorgeous. As we drove along the back roads we stopped to buy bright orange pumpkins. They were sitting in a wagon near the narrow gravel road that ran by.
Trees of golden yellow and dark red in color arched over the road making a beautiful life picture as horse and buggy slowly made their way through falling leaves.
Children walking home from school smiled and waved shyly as we drove by, their lunch pails swinging by their sides. These small children a picture of contentment as they walked these winding roads here among the hills and meadow fields…
I noticed a small young man making his way home through the cow pasture from the small one room schoolhouse. He seemed eager to be home and I wondered if he realized the quiet and peaceful life he had here among the sound of a turning windmill or the horse and buggy going by.
Harvested corn stalks stood in tall rows, neatly kept farms and schoolhouses dotted the countryside. As we drove on and we came to a high point in the road to look across, the valley reminded me of a beautiful patchwork quilt.
An intricate appliquéd quilt hung on the line in the sun. The quilt was a reminder of hard work and patience it was a finished quality heirloom.
I love quilts and I have a couple of quilts I need to finish before Christmas this year for gifts…
