Ken and I have always enjoyed driving around in the countryside. We often have no specific destination in mind but rather we just take a road to see where it leads. Maryland was a great state for just rambling as the roads are many and very old. Pennsylvania too. In Mississippi, you quickly get out to the farmland and leave the city behind. The soil is lush and the farms are productive but the land is dead flat, much different than we are used to in Maryland and Pennsylvania and even Ontario. But it is pretty in it's own way.
Yesterday, we drove north on Canton Road. We drove by many sub divisions where the houses were either large or huge or gigantic. Then, all of a sudden, we were in the country where the farm houses are modest even though the farms looked prosperous. Finally we turned onto Old Canton Road which eventually ended up in Canton, an old town with a beautiful Court House in the central square. The town square is beautifully decorated for Christmas and all the shops around the square appeared busy. We did a bit of shopping just down the street, then headed south to home. It was a lovely drive in the country. What could be finer than lunch in a small town and a ride through the farms. Just our cup of tea.
