Fall

I must confess. I am falling in love. Yes, I. Improbable as it may seem, I have found a new love, one that has me laughing and smiling and singing and seeing the world in beautiful, vibrant colors. How, you ask, has this come to pass? More specifically, who in the world could possibly cause such a change in my heretofore unwavering tune? Does this beauty have a name? Indeed, she does! Her name is Fall, and she is glorious.



Her trees are clothed in color schemes that inspire and delight; her temperament cool and crisp, instantly refreshing. I find myself soothed in her presence, sunny and bright but not overly so, cool and wistful with a whispering of days gone by. Where has she been all of my life? *Sigh*...



Hah! And you thought it was a girl. Silly human :P



Anyway, yesterday was cool. One of the girls at Boyce rounded up about 30 of us to go out to somebody's house out in the middle of somewhere about 45 minutes from school for a day of R & R. The drive itself was awesome, if only because the highway was lined with trees in various shades of autumnal decor, and the weather was juuuuust perfect...sunny, but with the tiniest bit of a nip in the air. Jack Johnson's latest album is excellent driving music, by the way. We played a little croquet, ping-pong, and "volleyball" (not really volleyball, but that's the closest sport to what we were doing). The house is surrounded by some other farms, with cattle providing quite the aromatic backdrop to our evening meal. There's also a donkey that likes to come close to the fence and laugh at the croquet players' dialogue between themselves and their uncooperative balls. I managed to come in a close 2nd to the owner of the house; since it was the first game, I don't feel guilty in attributing the slim margin of victory to his familiarity with the playing field ;) After dinner we started a little campfire, during which Moody brought out his guitar and we sang some songs while under the open sky. Later, we made some smores. All in all, a good day :)
