Day two of our trek south finds us first in Kansas and looking at very green fields which are winter wheat and so green. We also say forsythia and pear trees in bloom as well as maybe wild cherry trees. It was nice to see the return of spring and to see the farmers begin to get their fields ready for new crops. I believe they harrow the fields rather than plow them and mainly endeavor to get the leaving from last fall harvest to become the addition of humus material for the next growing plants. I was tickled to see on the horizon a figure of a man on a horse herding a cow and new born calf. As we drew closer it became obvious that these figures were cutouts. How clever!
We bumped our way through Kansas and onward through Oklahoma finally stopping in Fort Worth for the evening. After relaxing a bit we walked to a nearby Texas Steak House for dinner. Now full and completely relaxed we settle in for an evening of television and reading as well as a bath which will feel good on our warn out backsides. It was in the seventies or low eighties here today and maybe tomorrow will be short sleeve shirt weather. We hope to finish this traveling by mid afternoon tomorrow and then can begin to unload the rental truck the next day.
Traffic was light except in construction in Norman, OK and rush hour traffic in Fort Worth. Traveling by truck makes one appreciate travel by car. I feel thoroughly shaken and would prefer to be stirred. Sounds like a martini recipe. Happy travels.
