| A pond near Mrs. White's home, as Autumn unfolds in Vermont. |
In the old days, we used to see someone driving along slowly around the neighborhood. They were driving peacefully and enjoying the scenery around them. They were not in a hurry. There was no rush. They were enjoying the day. We used to call them "Sunday Drivers" because it was often a wonderful event to take a leisurely ride in the country, on a Sunday afternoon.
I have read, in old literature from the 1800's, that drives in the country were greatly enjoyed. They were considered healthy and beneficial. This was a form of recreation and wholesome entertainment.
As we are seeing the leaves change, here in rural Vermont, the beauty around us is quieting. It is soothing. It is lovely. We are enjoying little Sunday drives, which bring us a great deal of peace. The fresh mountain air, and the Autumn landscape bring happiness and rest.
I hope you are staying well and safe!
Blessings
Mrs. White
