The sun-kissed fields stretched endlessly as our car wound its way along the rural roadway, each of the 5,100+ mile journey whispering tales of bygone eras. Amidst the rural landscape stood the old barn, weathered by time yet exuding an undeniable charm that captured our eyes. It was an image of nostalgia, a silent witness to the passage of time and the stories woven into its aged wooden beams. As we passed by, a sense of connection tugged at us, igniting a spark of inspiration that lingered long after the barn disappeared from view. I began to take photos of the oldest barns throughout our 17 day journey from Maine to Florida and back. This journey was to check out other rural areas of the East Coast to possibly retire to in the coming years.

If you are visiting or living in a rural area, then driving on rural roads and less-traveled roads of your town is a necessary part of life. Driving in rural towns can be a unique experience, with more open roads and fewer people around. However, there are also some risks when driving on roads that might not be as well maintained or filled with heavy traffic. That was especially true in our area after recent flooding with many wash-outs in the area. There are some unique considerations to take into account when navigating these roadways, so let’s dive into what to look out for. You may want to warn your guests as they travel to visit you.

To become a blogging pro you must continuously blog even as your own personal world may be crumbling. That’s the same for any professional who is a pro blogger. They understand life must go on. That’s why I compiled these pro blogging tips for you. I will never forget the time in my life when my grandmother passed away when I was 17. My mom was hanging laundry outside on a warm August morning on the morning of my grandmother’s funeral. I was upset. How could she still be doing laundry when we were about to bury my grandmother? How does life go on when someone so close to us passes on? My mom taught me a lesson: Life does go on. As a blogger, I continued to blog as most blogging pros do no matter what is going on around them. I never forgot that time and now in times of crisis in my own life, I find myself doing laundry. Washing, drying, folding, ironing and then writing for the blog. I now get it. It keeps you on track, it makes you carry on.
