Sunday Happy

October 20, 2019 Colleen Stem

Have you ever have lice as an adult? Wait hold on, let’s back up. No I don’t have lice, but I a few years ago I did and whoa that was some shit. (Thats what happens when you hang with littles all the time.) This week my head starting itching like crazy so there was a minute when I thought I might have gotten them again. But I have had it checked, a few times, and it is just dry skin. From all the hats. Because it has been pretty chilly and I have been cold. So no lice, just hats and cold weather making my head itch. Phew!

Anyway, week was up and down. Started off with camping which was amazing. The drive alone down there (Cooliadge State Park) was freaking fantastic. The peak of foliage and oh boy was it peak. And then when we got to the campground, we went on a nice long hike in the most vibrant world of colors. That was a A+ hike fore sure. Then back to the campground to make fire, eat food, cuddle cause it was super duper cold (got to 33) and crawl into the tent for the night. Woke up, very cold, jumped in o the car and hit the road. Back to town we came.

Then another week of stuff. Life stuff. Not fun stuff. Very very stressful stuff. But stuff that needed dealing and is still being dealt with. Mostly the mr, but when the mr is ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy (HAHA!) so it was kind of another pretty stressful week. And so that is life.

But the good is still good. I don’t have lice, the world is gorgeous, we had a chilly rainy day which are some of my favorite days. I picked up second to last farm share and heavy stocked up on squash and starting knitting a new hat. I made the cutest cookie ever and went to the dentist which actually sucked but is always good to go and be responsible about dental health. Made an ice cream cake and dinner for Barb for her birthday at my moms for her family party (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!) The lady turned 20 and I can't even. Then I made her birthday pancakes on her actual birthday and we went grocery shopping so she could run up and down the isles with the mr collecting all the packages of batteries. Because she is now 20 and needs batteries? Yeah, we will just say that was it. And napped. I took a nap this week and it was amazing. I don’t think I nap enough.

Other then that, the week just flew by. Dealing with the stuff, hanging with the people, doing the work thing.

Now its Sunday and yes, we are doing it, camping. Second to last, if not the last time. Depends on if we get that rain next weekend that the weather people say we are suppose to get. So we are making tonight really count. Going to some land on a mountain out in the middle of no where. We are so in need of this, to get the heck away for the night. And it is going to be beautiful and amazing and we have a great hike planned out and there is not cell service. Winter jacket, hats and mittens, and all the blankets we can fit into the are. I am excited.

Interent links from the week.

It is 550+ pages long and I am not sure I am going to be able to finish it before it is due back. Might have to occur some late fees for this one.

Pretty Trees

Vermont in the fall is like living in a world that is on fire… not literally, but the trees, all the colors. It's freaking crazy amazing and no matter how many years I have lived here (all my life) I still am in awe of of the beautifulness of it all.

Being the good  Vermonters that we are, the mr and I have taken to the road a couple times for some leaf pepping.  We pack a picnic lunch, a few layers of clothes,  get in the car and fallow the color. The music goes on(or NPR), a little bit of heat blowing from the dash, and settle in for an adventure. I bring my camera and he brings his fishing pole (just in case) Sometime we find a nice hiking trail, or sometimes we stay in the car cause it's pouring rain and freezing out. We always stop somewhere and get ourselves big hot cups of coffee and maybe stop at a quaint antique store (or salvation army) along the way. We also like to find our dream homes in the cuties little towns nestled in the valleys between the mountains all on fire. (someday!) It's just so much lovely and nice. I can never get enough. 

Ah Vermont… I love you. 

So needless to say, I have taken a crap-load of pictures over the past couple weeks. I figured I would share a few of my favorites.

Enjoy, and if you live where the trees turn, go watch.. it's freaking fantastic!
