My Plans For Spring, Summer, And Fall

I have big plans this year. I spent all winter lounging around the house and riding the mountain when I felt like it. I didn't get a lot of work done but that's okay because if you're a good squirrel like me, you spend your time stacking up your nuts for the bad times and winter is basically bad times around here because there's not a lot of work outside. So this spring, while the weather isn't that great because of rain and mud, I'm going to spend a lot of time working and getting things done so I can enjoy my summer.

So spring is work and that means less free time to do things like blog on here. Come summer, I'm going to be hiking, kayaking, and walking around in the woods. If I have a chance, which I think I will, I'm going to go to some festivals. There's a Phish show that I'm thinking about hitting up with my friend but we'll see when the time comes if I can actually go. Would be nice to see another Phish show. It's definitely been a while.

Hiking is fun and I like to do it a lot but I really need to find some better boots this year. Mine are falling apart and not as comfortable as I'd like them to be. They're not cheap but they're really not that great. I hear Redbacks are solid boots so I'm going to see if I can find a pair to try on and see if they're all that or just another gimmicky product that doesn't perform like so many others in this day and age.

I'd also like to do a lot of swimming this summer. If possible, with some friends. I'm not big on boating but I'll probably do a bit of that too. I prefer to kayak because I get exercise and it's nice being alone in the water, just floating around.

Driving around the coastline is another plan of mine this year and I'm hoping that I manage to drop down by my friend's new vacation home in Delaware. It's been a while since I've just hung out in a cozy beachfront community. Definitely looking forward to that but what I'm looking forward to most is fall.

Come fall, the weather here is crisp and the air cool. The leaves on the trees change from green to vibrant reds, yellows, oranges, and pinks. I love it. I can't believe how beautiful it is. I'd trade nothing for the beauty that is fall.

In fall, I'll be drinking hot cocoa, tea, and relaxing. Just trying to soak in all of the beauty of this world.

If I can, I'm trying to buy a road bike and go riding around during early spring and fall, perhaps a bit in the summer but it's usually so hot in the summer that all I want to do is swim and kayak for the most part.
