Thursday I Ran Away...

at lunchtime.  I close for lunch but people knock on the door or holler for something...so I left the building...and took a drive.  The town I work in used to be Barren Fork now it's called Mt Pleasant.

Just a skip and a hop down the road is Barren Fork Creek.  This was my lunch break today.  I think you'll agree, it was worth the trip.
The day was perfect.
It was a sweater day, nothing else needed, well,
except for pants and shoes and such,
but no coat.
Driving down a gravel road,
you cross a concrete low water bridge.
The water tumbles through on normal days,
on flood days, it is impassible.
Even away from work, I worked.
The culverts on one side were blocked.
I removed branches and logs to help the water flow.
I caused the water to foam.
Sad, that even on a break,
I just keep on working!

The creek had worked its magic.
I returned to work, muddy, but refeshed....
and there were people waiting for me to open.
