Wanderlust

It’s just 20 days until the start of autumn (not that we’re counting). As the days become just slightly cooler it seems only appropriate to begin to say a proper goodbye to summer. ‘Tis the season for families all over the country to pack into the car for one last adventure before school begins and schedules become once again hectic. It’s time to take a moment to reflect on simpler days and fine weather, much as Duncan Hannah does in his painting “Vagabondia” (seen at left). Hannah grew up imagining trips to far off places. In this work, he shows us a long, peaceful road surrounded by fresh-looking foliage. Does the farm house in the distance signify the end of the journey, or the beginning of a new story altogether? Are you traveling this month? Are you dreaming of far off places and clear weather? Please stop by The Jean Outland Chrysler Library, and we’ll be happy to share with you one of our many books about travel and adventure at home and abroad. Pack lightly, drive safely and don’t forget the roadside souvenirs!
