Autumn blooms a beauty within

flower by flower · Sep 19, 2004 · 195 views · Journal

So I was driving out to Albany this past weekend with my friends Susia and Jack. They are siblings. Anyways Jack has this neat older truck. He had some Blind Melon CD's and for the beautiful weekend that dawns fall I was so entranced as it was the perfect road trip CD. I just love this time of year. Fall is so beautiful especially in New York. Its just amazing how much the season changes to a nice chill day in the 50's and 60's. And you don't need to have air conditioning on to survive. You start to put on your jackets and run skip about. You may wake up late on a saturday and you put on the tv and college football is on every channel. And you are so bored sometimes you will watch it. Some days its so beautiful you can just go for a walk through the woods and explore. I like the idea that you can drive around and the roads just seem to feel emptier and its such a beautiful thing. I look forward to eating pumpkins and apples. I am hoping to hopefully go apple picking. I know that sounds kind of cornball but this year I want to experience a couple of simple things to just reflect on the beauty that life encompasses at times. Maybe I will go out to the ocean and just walk along a beach for some hours and watch the waves. Anyways I need to find a road buddy because among my biggest plans is going on a road trip. I want to just drive all around New York State and see the Hudson and Niagra Falls and then get to see the countryside just for the beauty it is. I sometimes wish I could go back to way back when the cities were small and life was simple and people paid for a soda and a chocolate bar for 10 cents. That just sounds like fun. Anyways road trip buddies hopefully I will hear from some of you.

road trips = fun. Especially when deviating from the popular roads and exploring towns.

tinser #3.1 tinserOG 2002

yeah, and roadtrips are a great way to bond with your friends...i find that some of the best conversations i've ever had were in the car on roadtrips

Think I wanna try some horseback riding this fall.

specialk #4.1 specialkOG 2003

I LOVE horseback riding!!!! I haven't been in a while, which is silly because I practically OWN a horse (it's really my mom's). You'd think I'd go more often than I do.

juicymango #4.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yeah send that horse my way already. I want a horse really really bad. I love horseback riding!!!
