Every morning before I head out for my run, I play the weather guessing game.I step outside and feel the air and declare the temperature. This week I have been getting really good. All in the mid to upper 30’s, one morning it was 30. Bellow freezing which is fucking cold and I love it! I don’t know if it is a Vermont thing or a me thing but every time it is just about freezing I think,'“If it were to precipitate right now it would be snow?” Do you do that too? I have got snow on the brain, can you tell?
The week started off with hiking and camping at Little River. Our last camping adventure for the year. It was great thought, a nice cool but not freezing day. The colors were still popping and there wasn’t a shit ton of people around. The park was pretty much empty. So we did our hiking, made food, hung by the fire, and crawled into the tent for the last time. Woke up to a bit of rain, went for my early morning walk, then packed up and came home.
The rest if the week went. I picked the last of the flowers and chard from the garden, moved all the houseplants inside, picked up the last summer farm share, and worked a lot in both studios. Nothing too exciting.
Now back to Sunday. No camping and I am sad about it, although it is pouring rain at the moment and if we were to be going, it would probably suck…Nah, who am I kidding, I would’ve loved it anyway but that’s a moot point. So what am I going to do today? I think I am going to the studio to glaze some shit and probably going to take myself out to the woods somewhere and hike about for a little while. Then later tonight we are taking the two boys (Coco and Judah) out for trick or treating because Halloween and all. That should be fun, especially because Judah decided to dress uo as Nick. Fake beard and all. It’s gonna be some funny shit!
