Autumn is for America

(1,2)

It's strange to think that only a few weeks ago, it was too hot to even think about sweaters.

Fall has now truly arrived. The mornings are crisp and cool; the sun sets earlier in evening with a golden glow unique to Autumn.

Now that fall's here, I'm itching for an American adventure. I want to grab a friend and an old beat up car and head to a cabin up north. Watch the leaves turn to the color of fire, drink tea, read books, and eat pumpkin flavored everything.

Every Fall season seems to arrive with an air of nostalgia. It's a beautiful serenity that I find myself looking more and more forward to each time it arrives.

Desert Daydreams

I've been caught having some major desert daydreams lately. I'm completely unsure of the cause, but there's something itching in me to go out west to the dry, hot and barren.

There's something about Marfa, TX that just seems like a distant planet in our own backyard.

There's a feeling of old world ghost-town, but with a smidgen of Brooklyn-hipster, and topped with a good-humor hat. It seems like the perfect destination for a road trip with friends.

Of course, those are the type of trips that make you never want to return, so maybe it's best to just put this one off for a while.
