Mini road trip.

Our weekend was most pleasant. At the last minute we decided to go visit Cecilia. Instead of the usual route we drove down through Alabama. It was a low-humidity, clear blue sky day. Two lanes highways, at least half of the way. When we crossed back into Mississippi we were in Noxubee County. Now Noxubee County is good at growing things. Among them are corn, cotton, soy beans, and college football players. Only one  high school in the state has produced more college players than Noxubee. I just have to tell you how exquisite a sight it all was. Miles and miles of corn, cotton, and soy bean fields.  The corn is drying, and almost ready for harvest. The cotton is high, and blooming. The soy bean were so green they were almost black. For miles. And miles. No football players to be seen, though. They were probably all in church. I wanted to capture the wideness of it all. But. Alas, I didn't ask Mr. Macho to stop. I just soaked it in. 

This bright eyed girl kept us entertained by just being sweet and cute. All afternoon long. Her dad played the guitar for her and she just listened and tried to find him with her young eyes. 

Sweet angel asleep in her mother's arms. 

Our sense of adventure wasn't quite satisfied and so we drove home the long way...we went down country roads and one lane roads. One lanes are a little scary. And exciting. If someone had come along fast we would have had to go into a ditch!

We passed several very quaint country churches...and finally I thought to stop and snap a picture when we got to this one. 

It even had it's own historic marker. 

All in all it satisfied our adventuresome/explorer itch for the day. 

But not forever!
