I took a walk down the other direction on Possum Hollow Road this morning before the heavens opened up and we got some much-needed rain.

Cornfield and rail-side grain depotAnd what better song to go with this than Peter Ostroushko's "Heart of the Heartland", here played live by Peter with the Guy's All-Star Shoe Band on A Prairie Home Companion in 2004.

PS: I also just put up a post on Duke Ellington's "Caravan " on the Just A Song blog. You are cordially invited to check it out!
...you really are lucky to have such lovely views of the mountains all around you. The photos are gorgeous. (You're also lucky to have gotten some rain!! We are parched here... ) Can't wait to head over to your other blog to hear Caravan. It's one of my favorite songs.
