So all that snow made the air really cold, and the White Rabbit got really weak. Her car battery, that is. It went dead actually. After the Brewer's guy came to jump-start my car I had to drive it for half an hour to charge it. I took a nice and easy drive to my friend Michelle's place. After that, I didn't want to go back yet so I drove onto Nixon and turnd onto another side of Green Road where I discovered some pretty apartment complexes. I think they may be under the name Chapel Hill? I'll have to return and explore one day.
Then, I got back onto Nixon and drove the other way down. On my left were large open spaces and seven deer in a snow-covered field. Since the long road was empty, I had to stop and stare. They were beautiful creatures, some standing still in the pale evening light, one grazing, yet another moving gracefully across the field. Further on, I passed by small farms and more beautiful vistas. The sun was setting and the sky above the treeline was suffused with pink, then violet, and finally when the eye reached the dome of heaven, a deep wash of china blue.
I have to go back with my camera again. This certainly was one of the loveliest drives I ever had.
