America the Beautiful

We just returned from a 2-week trip across the country.  Well, to Missouri and back, anyway.  We saw snow, rain, slush, and a little sunshine now and then.

We Americans were certainly blessed with beautiful views and places to build our homes.  Williams, AZ has stately conifers covering mountains short enough to climb on a day hike.  Tucumcari, NM is in the middle of vast plains and prairies.  They've been broken up with barbed wire fences, but the view is still amazing.  The Missouri Ozarks -- a place I know well -- has gorgeous rolling hills, secluded glades, and the dense woods I grew up playing in.  In southern Oklahoma, a series of lakes reflect the setting sun.

I feel privileged to see these places.  Let us appreciate them, and others like them.
