Long Way Home

April 20, 2026April 20, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

The county changes

Miles and the hours passing by

Yet still in Texas

West Texas Supper Time

April 19, 2026April 19, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Pick a place to eat

Everybody in the car

Let’s hope it’s open

Davis Mountains

April 18, 2026April 19, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Long wavy flat road

Along Texas One Eighteen

Mountains everywhere

Fort Davis

April 17, 2026April 17, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Open hours roulette

Always have another choice

Maybe the next town

Marfa Lights

April 16, 2026April 17, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

They don’t come out every night.

All the stars do, so it’s alright.

The stars at night

Are big and bright.

Clap, clap, clap, clap.

(If you know, you know.)

Relative Distance

April 4, 2026April 6, 2026 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Seven hours from Dallas.

You can be two States away.

You can be almost out of Texas.

It depends on directions.

Driving Rain

Five hours from Midland

Hard rain pouring from the sky.

Six hours from Midland.

Vacation

April 18, 2024April 22, 2024 ~ John Ellsworth ~ Leave a comment

Six long days away

Mountain, desert, river, sleep

May need some time off

What do you want to eat?

What day is it?

Why does that matter?

Do you want somewhere open?

It’s still early

Let’s go out to dinner

Restaurants all closed
