AdventuresWithMeg

So it had been a bit since I was on a nature walk, and I was craving it, so Mint and I took Wee Man for a nature walk after some errands and ended up walking for just over two hours. We saw wild turkeys, chickadees, bluejays, squirrels and so much more, I took my camera, and I got so many pictures and a bunch of memories that are going to be good to look back on.  I think im going to see about selling some of my shots, if i can find the right spot and after i figure out how to watermark my pictures; I havent been doing that for the ones i post on here (the blog) but i plan to in the future, ive been working on my photography and want to show off my skills. 

On the walk i noticed how the trees are starting to change and turn to the amazing mix of yellow, orange, red with the green of the other trees, the smell is of leaves, dirt, fresh and relaxing. It was so nice to go on our walk, the only part i didnt like was the snakes, im not a fan; i respect them from a safe distance while making sure to give them plenty of space! The downfall of today was i have a sunburn on my face/neck from not reapplying sunscreen (i forgot it at home and didnt think i would need to reapply it) so thats not too nice but it was worth the memories, we were able to stand in the water at the end of september and it wasnt too cold! 

Its my birthday soon, im closer to 30 than id like to say right now but i dont feel it; at most i feel 24/25 and im not exactly where i thought id be when i was younger but im fairly happy (7/10) with life currently and i wouldnt change a whole lot with life. I could do without being clumsy, my wrist is still not healed and i have more movement but lifting and turing my wrist without a brace is out of the question; im doing exercises and other stuff for it but its taking longer than id like for it to take to heal. I was told it can take longer to heal but i was hoping people were wrong, life likes to give others faster heal time over the rest but its given quite the entertaining story to tell and i wont be able to live it down. 

Im listening to Late Night Blues as i write this up and im realizing that im very much an old soul, its making my feel like the older i get the more i just dont care what others think of my unwinding techniques and i didnt think i would turn partially into my dad by listening to BB King and others sing some blues while i write this out and do my usual writing before i go to sleep. Its funny seeing your parents personality or quirks pop up out of no where, its like a surprise you cant control haha, im seeing more of my parents come out in ways i didnt expect.  Its like when  i saw one of the blue jays today i thought of Sunflower; Fall was their favorite season and they had lots of blue jays in their backyard in the country so it made me think of them.

Every time i see the leaves begin to turn i think of Sunflower, i remember driving through the back roads one day with them and the windows were down and we were looking at all the leaves and there was country music playing and it smelled like fall and clean car, i dont remeber who all was there but i remember that specifically. Im feeling nostalgic in the last few days/weeks, i feel like so much has changed and part of me wants to go back to experience and appreciate the moments i thought i would have again but never did and soak them in more. I have strong memories of certain people and it makes me smile thinking about them cause they would probably think im nuts now and wonder how i got this way haha,  Im on day one of my vacation and i think im going to enjoy it by doing things i enjoy while talking with those who i miss and want to hear how they are doing. 

Im going down a path that im not sure where its going but im going to end the post here; I hope you are having a lovely day and i will see you soon with a new post! 

Till Next Time, 

Meg
