Last weekend I was taking the long, sweeping cloverleaf interchange that connects Highway 93 to I-90 east and started encountering big heaps of hay that were the remains of several large rounds, ultimately probably eight or ten of them. As I swept around the final curve and hit the straightaway, there it was – a big duelly pickup with a flatbed trailer laden with rounds ... and a big space among them where the spilled ones had obviously tumbled from. A highway patrol vehicle was pulled up behind it, and the driver was in animated conversation roadside with the officer. I felt for him. I'm guessing a combination of poor strapping and speed was the reason for the mishap. I'm just happy I wasn't behind him when the rounds started tumbling!

I miss farm life.

Oh my gosh. I am so glad I wasn't in that driver's position. Thanks for sharing the story, Chris.

Wes Rogers was in my class in school. He was always a prankster. Happy for them.

After living in south Florida for 8 years I grew tired of people lamenting no color changes in fall. I would tell them to look at the cypress and maples and you would find your color. The south stuns in its own dreamy way. Your fall foliage photo is gorgeous and the John Prine peaches line is divine.
