Lunch with
mom turned into a Fall Color Tour. It was an unseasonably warm day when we
decided that take-out from a local grill and sitting on her backyard swing
sounded delightful. The Fattoush salad with warm chicken shawarma sat on the
backseat of my car as we headed in the direction of home, but not directly.
I drove down
streets where yards were littered with leaves, orange pumpkins, or stakes in
the ground bearing Halloween ghosts, goblins, and scarecrows. We were like two
kids discovering something new.
“Get a
picture of that tree.”
“Oooh, look
at the Red one.”
Delight in our
voices, and a gleam in our eyes, viewing the array of colorful leaves was
breathtaking and peaceful.
Have you
observed the colorful changes going on around you? If you live near a body of
water, take a final canoe trip of the season, and absorb the scenes of nature.
Stroll through a forest of trees or drive through a tree-lined neighborhood.
Check out
what mom and I saw.
Sometimes an
impromptu outing is just what you need to relax. Make it a part of your health
and wellness.
