Day 18 of 40


We earned another stamp on our Coffee Crawl card the weekend after Aaron returned. 


As we drove through and picked up our drinks, the lady at the window said, "Two hot?" but what we heard was "Too hot!" We looked at each other and laughed because we were thinking the same thing :) I'm thankful to be married to a guy who delights me more and more every day. Middle-aged marriage is a beautiful thing.


We drove to Drewry Farms to pick up bushels of sweet potatoes, apples, and winter squash. I had checked the weather before we left, but we were surprised by rain while we were at the farm. The plan was to take a nice long hike together, but the much needed rain changed our plans.


We chose to take the Middle Fork Road trail at the Bayou Bluff Recreation Area, part of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. Aaron had camped at this little gem of a park in the past.


This dirt road gave us an easier trail to follow in the rain as we followed the bayou and listened to the peaceful sound of the raindrops. Our small umbrella helped protect us as we snuggled underneath and thought of one of our favorite songs, Bus Stop.
