I'm inspired as I count down the days before we leave the great state of Michigan and head toward warmer climates. The temperatures have been dropping, and I've heard through the grapevine that the temps in November are supposed to be a chilly conundrum. For the sake of my family and friends I hope not. I've got a lot of prep to do, a lot of transition to accomplish as we prepare Dark Nest, as we get organized and ready for our upcoming "Snow-Bird" trip. There is a certain mental preparation for the upcoming trip south. I have vaguely mapped out a route we plan on taking, but I don't want to elaborate due to our youtube channel, Dark Nest Travels, and don't want to spoil future videos.
I will say that Maria and I will not miss the chilly arms of winter which awaits like a monster on the sidelines. The month of October brings out the monsters, but not quite like the monster that winter is. October brings us colors, partially bare trees, the beginning of a crunchy forest floor, and the smell of autumn. I love the scents, warm coffee smells different, the scent of fallen apples rotting into the ground, the scent of a last cut on the yard are all nostalgic. The winding down of yet another summer and the life we've created in these weird, uncertain times is coming to fruition. Going south this year, this winter, is questionable to some, but we don't refrain from going. I would rather be isolated, staring at the sunny days, palm trees, and birds of the south, than to stare at the gray sky, and brown grass out the windows of our Nest. It sounds so much better, doesn't it?
When we arrive to our destination in Florida, and after a long journey on in the RV, a new life awaits us. I plan on writing more, be sure to check some of those out here and at Tim Eagle's Portal , and getting into a healthier routine with my daily life, i.e. eating better, loosing weight and focusing on more writing, it's in me to give to all of you, so I must create and give. I hope time don't slip through my fingertips and that I can follow through with my goals going forward. Thanks for stopping by this time around, and thanks so much for reading a blog, I know it's been awhile. Stay tuned to our videos here: Dark Nest Travels and come back as often as you can when I stop procrastinating and write to you. I'm going to leave one of my favorite Airstream pictures that I think displays autumn the way it should be viewed. Enjoy!
