Autumn

I am really trying to enjoy the heck out of fall each weekend. Work seems to be a bit more hectic and involved this year. I am making home just in time for dinner, which leaves me no time during the week to stop and peep at the leaves or engage in fun fall activities.

Since I finished my big order for MPM, I decided to treat myself to a trip up north for some exploring. To be honest, I really haven't gone up north since I moved here. Isn't that embarrassing?! I think it because when I have time for a little road trip, I typically go to Maine. Well, yesterday that all changed and I owe it all to Chronicle. Do you have Chronicle where you live? No? Well, you should. It's a quaint little newsmagazine show that keeps its audience in the know of all things New Hampshire. This week they did a two night feature on Castle in the Clouds. You know it's gotta be special when Chronicle does a two night feature.

I woke up early yesterday morning, hopped in my car, grabbed an iced coffee and drove up to Castle in the Clouds in Moultonburough. It was a bit warm yesterday, like August warm. Too warm for the end of September. It definitely felt a little bit odd to be cranking the AC on a trip to check out foliage, but I'm versatile, I went with it.

I won't give you the play-by-play of the day, but it was definitely filled with beauty and serenity, a bubbling waterfall, a trolly filled with Russians from Sheepshead Bay, remarkably fresh air, gorgeous colors, and a gratifying cheese dog from a little dairy bar on the way home.
