A few leaves turning red.
A few leaves on the ground.
Fall has arrived.
It's such a great time of the year and today was beautiful. No wait, I think that was yesterday. I suppose that is another indicator of the change of the seasons; weather that is unpredictable. Right now it's raining and I'm curled up on the couch while Nate reads. I'm dreaming of all the things I hope we get in this fall: camping, hiking, motorcycle riding, fall festivals, holidays with family!
We already kicked off the fall festival season with our friends David and Caitlyn, by going to the Tipton Pork Festival. It was a great time.
However.
We arrived at the festival during some type of insect plague. The second we got out of the car there were little flying insects the size of flies or a smidge smaller, aimlessly floating in the air. So strange, don't you think? They had no purpose or direction, so as we walked around we found ourselves fanning our hands around our heads trying to keep them from bumping into our faces or getting caught in our hair. But, each time we would duck into a craft tent or food tent, the insects were blissfully absent.
After a little bit, we adjusted to their presence and tolerated them for the length of our time there.
And of course, like it always seems to happen in life, as we were walking back to the car to leave they all disappeared.
We have yet to kick off the fall season of motorcycle riding, but I'm sure we will get some good ones in. We are both getting a handle on the new school semester schedule and once we get into more of a routine I anticipate some good motorcycle rides in our near future. The question is always: What direction and where? Do we go somewhere we haven't been before or do we head down to Brown Co. on a similar ride we did before and enjoyed? Either way, it will be a great time.
These are just a few things I'm excited about this fall.
I hope fall finds you planning some special times of your own.
