The colors are popping, the people are milling about, and the out of state cars are all over which means it is that time again. Vermonts great foliage season. Love every ounce of color but could do without the annoying amount of traffic that comes with it. (IYKYK Ha!)
The week started at Coolidge State Park. A cool dreary day and it really was just perfect camping. We went on a long ass hike and took in the trees, hung out under the canopy next to the fire while it rained, and crawled into the tent before it really started to pour but that was even soothing. The whole place was just super gorgeous and super quite. It’s one of my favorite places to camp.
After we woke up and packed up, we heading back to town. The mr went off to work and I made giant cookie cake for Coco because yes, he turned 5 freaking years old. Can’t even believe that shit. We went over for pizza and shenanigans and giant cookie cake (everyone wants one know) and that was that.
The rest of the week went by as usual. The mr was out doing his thing, I did a shit ton of chores, ripped up half the garden, threw some, worked at the studio and met another Gigi (I might steal her) and yeah, just did life.
Yesterday, well the mr and I took a little drive to a place were I gave a nice man money to stab a hole into my face. Yup, that was fun. Then I came home and cleaned the house. What a day.
Sunday again which means we camp. Going south a bit to one of our favorites, Half Moon, and this time we are brining the kayaks. (Probably going to be the last time for the year). Hopefully the drive down doesn’t piss me off too much (leaf peepers are terrible drivers) but I am really looking forward to the day. How could I not?
