The day was lovely. The sun was shining and it was 55 degrees, so late this morning we took a drive in the Mississippi countryside. First we had to stop at the drug store. It will not be easy to get enough medications for us during the five months we will be gone in 2014, but we are working on it. After a short drive, Ken decided to have lunch so before we left Ridgeland we had lunch at Newt's, a favorite of the big girls.
The countryside around Jackson is not dramatic. No big hills or valleys, but it does have small hills. The development north of Jackson is dramatic. Every back road has houses. It is only east of 55 toward Canton that you see farms. The new houses are big too so this will not an area we could afford. Further west, you hit the delta, which is absolutely flat with rich black soil that will grow anything. We like trees and pastures so we will not buy in the delta. The cost per acre is high too, which is another reason we would not buy there.
Coming home, we drove along the Natchez Trace, which runs right beside the Reservoir. The water was perfectly still so we saw many many ducks and geese. It is a wonderful drive, right beside the water. Our circle trip was perfect.
