Well, it's that time of year again; my favorite and least favorite time of the year. I love the leaves changing, pumpkin patches, hot chocolate, bonfires, and all that jazz, but I don't like the autumn blues I tend to get every year. It's not to say that I'm sad or down, I'm just in a funk. I have zero motivation. I've been doing things on a weekly basis just to get out of the house, like going to the farm to do a corn maize and we are going to a fall festival this weekend as well, but during the week, I just can't seem to feel any sort of motivation to do anything other than lay in bed.
I'm tired. I'm not really emotionally drained, but my brain feels like it's on overdrive, even though it hasn't had to do much work. None of it really makes any sense to me and this year has been the best year I've had so far with this since it started about 13 years ago.
I'm happy where I'm at and who I'm with; I'd like some things to change, such as my neighborhood, but overall, I'm satisfied. A little more money wouldn't hurt anything, either, but I'm not going to be greedy. I am able to pay my bills and do things I enjoy and still have a little extra left over, but I'm certainly not rich.
Okay, enough of the negative stuff, It's fall, the time I've been waiting for ALL year long. This weekend we went to a fall festival, which wasn't all that great, but we did pick up a $2 pumpkin, which we carved last night. After the fall fest, we headed north about 45 minutes to Conner's A-Maize-Ing Acres, which is a local farm that used to be a huge chicken farm for Tyson, until Tyson decided to shut down the North FL operation, which almost put them completely out of business. Today, the farm has Redneck Olympics, a hay ride, farm animals, and mostly, a CORN MAIZE! We spent a good 45 minutes-an hour trying to find our way out; it would've probably been much more enjoyable had it not been like 90* and the sun not beaming down on us.. oh well, it was still fun!
After we carved our pumpkins last night, we toasted some pumpkin seeds, which I'd never done before. I haven't tried them yet, so I'm not quite sure if they are good or not. Speaking of pumpkins, we are planning on visiting a pumpkin patch in South Carolina on our trip up to South Mountain State Park, in North Carolina. We will be spending a week (yay!) there to take in all the fall colors and just enjoy nature. I haven't been to NC for fall in FIVE years! I'm overly excited; Someone else has to drive though because last time I drove up there, I almost drove off the mountains from looking at all the gorgeous leaves - amazing!
