It seems i've been on the road a lot lately: field trips, commuting to school, commuting to work. I think it brings out the worst in me, highlighting how far there is to go to be like Jesus (or how little i walk with him). Sure, people drive like maniacs, selfishly endangering others on the road; people are gratuitously attracted to other people's trouble (aka rubbernecking); but even though these conditions are true, i don't think Jesus would condone the dark thoughts i have toward my fellow commuters! :( Today's rainy conditions on the 60 were a good test of my attitude, and it mostly failed. This is how i felt:
And these are some of the places i've been on the road: the 60 is much less attractive so it isn't here:
Highway 133, from Laguna Beach field trip. The dark smudge is a ding in my windshield, a result of not-so-courteous sharing of the road with gravel trucks.
A foggy day at the Philip Raines Rest Stop field trip on Route 99.
My husband and I live in Los Angeles. He works with people experiencing homelessnes and in drug/alcohol addiction recovery; I work as a garden designer, consultant, and lecturer, helping landscapes recover. We think the two are connected more than it may seem, and hope to start a farm that combines them deliberately in the near future.

That first pic is cool...I feel that way sometimes too. :) (I'm a little behind in my blog reading!)
Oh and P.S. I really like your blog banner, if I haven't told you before.
