Fall Weather

I can't get enough of the weather I just want to eat it and have it inside of me! I just want to be outside and drown in the wonderful September goodness!

I went to see Ben at the Recreation Outlet yesterday and wasn't planning on any major purchases, but left with a new pair of hiking shoes and a cute little hiking backpack with a bladder in it. Lately I have just wanted to be alone outside. I have been running down in Adventure Learning Park and have loved stopping and enjoying the scenery and the smells down there. It's beautiful down there right now, the pond is completely full and there are acorns all along the paths. Blue birds flying overhead and squirrels scampering in all the bushes. It smells like sagebrush and oak, what a wonderful Utah smell, you don't get that just anywhere. And every time I'm down there I think what a pity it is, that I can't just stay and read a book alone in the seclusion. Now I have a backpack that will hold water and a good book, and with weather as good as it has been, I may never show up to work or school again.

I wish it was entirely the weather that has put me in this reclusive state, but I think it is a mixture of that and these crazy humans that are all over the place. All this talking just drives me crazy! I don't want to listen any more or be apart of it.... I bought 4 new books, two of them being Oliver Twist and essays by Emerson, two books I have been wanting to read for a while. I love Emerson, and how nerdy that I want to read it outside in this beautiful weather. Another purchase that I made is the Bright Eyes album that came out this last April.... I am listening to it right now, and can't believe that I bought it and am listening to it right now. I must be in the weirdest mood ever Emerson and Conner Oberst?

Peace and pinetrees,
Whitney
