A drive through the country in August

I drove down Highway 41 through Orchard Hill and Milner and Barnesville to Forsyth this afternoon. I hadn't taken that route in such a long time. It was like homecoming.

And it appeared that a lot of work had been done on the old houses and buildings I encountered along the way. A lot of houses and buildings both in Barnesville and Forsyth have been renovated and were showing their feathers brightly in the sun this afternoon.

There were few changes, other than the sprucing I encountered along the route. There were a lot of pretty farms along the way. I even encountered a bit of farming, mainly grasses being cut. Combines and tractors were gathering the grasses in to bales out in the pastures.

In town, a lot of the old houses showed a new coat of paint. I even saw painters at work on the frame houses in Griffin. It seemed like everyone was trying to put on a new face for the summer sun.

I am hoping for some rain this weekend and a few cooler temperatures on Saturday and Sunday. We are looking forward to some fun this weekend. Hopefully, the weather won't drag us down into a morass of heat and humidity.
