Something nice

Had to drive through redneck county to the local store and it was snowing.

Seems some people like that kind of thing, snow.  On curvy, hilly roads that deer treat as their favourite meeting place.

Anyway, it is pretty when viewed from inside a warm, 4X4.

As I came around a curve, I saw an elderly couple walking leisurely along the side of the road.  They were still walking a half hour later as I slipped and swerved headed back.

Seeing two people who had survived that long simply walking together in the snow on a Sunday after noon was...lovely.  Nice. 

Two people just enjoying the moment, not afraid, not pissed off, just taking pleasure in the simple act of walking in the country side by side.

It's those quiet details that give me such a passion for our world.

It is always good to reflect on the simple things in life, I know I do it to little.
