A crisp December day,
The hot sun beating in the
left window of my car.
The valleys and hills as I travel,
I-55 from Jackson, MO to St. Louis.

My mess-making 9 1/2 year old!
A messy meal at a restaurant,

The evergreens on a distant hill,
Prevented a speeding ticket for me,
As I looked back ...
Admiring their beauty.
