It Is Another Tuesday

Circles 2023
Digital photo

The memory of creating the digital photograph on the left is stored so deep that I can't reach it.

As we get older, feeling worried when we don't remember something can feel very unsettling. Taking the date created, I can go to that folder to see what else I was up to in 2023.

As for today, the sun is shinning. It is cold. Spring is a mere 28 days away. The carnations I bought two weeks ago are just fading. None of the buds opened though. My spider plant looks like it just got home from an all night rave that it wasn't ready to leave. Blogging, again, is on the when to stop radar, blip yes, blip no, blippity blip as it goes. 

Time to read a book.

The Enjoyable Excursion

Have your heard somebody say that they don't like to plan ahead because when they do something always goes wrong? The future looks grim with an attitude like that. 

Others are set on serendipity. That route does have a flare of adventure, but it may not be the best way to maximize your potential for an enjoyable excursion.

I love the word, excursion, sounds classy, chic, a mellow way to travel out and about. Autumn is excursion city! Being outdoors to view the foliage in the Northern Hemisphere is the season to be jolly, not grumpy. Sure curmudgeon is a cute word as well, but who likes to ride along with a bah humbug vibe? Not many is my guess.

Check out your local travel websites. In Vermont, Happy Vermont is a favorite because they cover traveling in the state so well, one stop excursion planning. I also read websites for travel in New England. Cover your area as best you can to enhance a fall excursion.

No plans to travel this fall? Staying home doesn't mean you can't enjoy the autumn. There are windows to look out, photographs to view, decorations to do, hot toddies to create, fluffy slippers to wear, shawls for  your shoulders while you sit in a cozy reading spot reading a Stephen King novel.
