Autumn Wanderings (Ponderings)




So today, my blog is about the best part of autumn, the 15th of October through the 1st of November. Now, why is that the best part of autumn? Because the temperature is perfect, leaves are still on the trees but are starting to change, life is in full motion with school and social life picking up, Halloween is around the corner,  and of course it is the best time of the year for sports; Football, Soccer, Basketball, and even Baseball are all happening at once. It's a fun time to be a sports fan. Now, one of my favorite activities, walking, will unfortunately have to be put on hold this year due to lack of walking ability. I am devastated by this, really, I am. The day before my leg surgery, I made sure to go on a nice walk through the lower part of the Avenues, strolling along third, second, and first Ave between R and Virginia. That is quite possibly my favorite place in all of Salt Lake. The houses there are beautiful and the memories I have of those areas are all happy ones, making it extra special. I was able to wear a sweater and my new jeans, making the walk all the more enjoyable while listening to some music from my ipod. At least I got one good walk in before the good walking weather goes away, however, there still may be a good walk or two in store for me. 
Normally I hate fall, but for some reason this year I am extra excited about it! Maybe I am just enjoying the beauty of it this year whereas in the past I have only noticed that summer is gone and the world is dying. I also get to enjoy fall foods such as stew :)

Hey. I love fall. It has always been my favorite. And I love walking. When you are feeling up to it we will go on a nice long walk. Whenever you want to go on a walk with someone and are lacking someone give me a call because I would like to walk with you.
