White & Yellow

White and yellow are two very important colors. Think about it. Where in your world do you see these two colors the most often? Now follow me for a minute on this because I'm serious. Seeing as how we have just come through summer, this seems to be important. Think about what your Highway District has done this summer. If it's anything like ours they have been hard at work building/repairing roads or as they do here- chip sealing the roads to make them last longer. This chip sealing requires a layer of loose gravel to be spread on top of the existing road. Then it is up to the cars to compact the rocks down as they drive over the road. This requires skill and boldness on the part of the driver as they have to drive on roads that don't have the lanes marked and they have to be willing to accept a chipped windshield in the event that a rock comes flying up from the car in front of you. Enough of that. The next part of chip sealing involves a black gooey substance poured over the compressed rock. This requires that you wash your car afterward as the car and wheels will be covered in goo. But, back to my original sentence. White and yellow play a huge part in our lives are they guide us down the road toward our destination. Having been in the car for the better part of 300 miles since I got home two weeks ago I have started to appreciate those lines that are seamlessly part of the road.

Now for a totally different topic. I have decided to share with you the books that I read. At the end of each blog I will try to post which books I have recently finished. Since school is starting I expect that a good portion of my reading will be devoted to Young Adult literature. However, I have discovered that some of the Young Adult literature is better than the adult literature. So stay tuned to see what is next to by bed.

Books I have finished:
I am working on the Pendragon series. I just finished book 4. (Great Science Fiction series)
I am working on the Elm Creek Quilt series. I finished book 9.
