omorrow mom and I go to Badin and Morrow Mountain. It’s a trip we make every year, usually around Vetran’s Day. We used to go on Veteran’s Day since when we went the first time it was Veteran’s Day. It because a tradition pretty quickly. I’m not sure how many year’s we’ve been going now. It’s definitely been more than five years because we being going since before I started at Scholastic and I was at Scholastic for four years. It’s a trip I really enjoy making.

The leaves didn’t change subtly or slowly this year. One day they were green and the next I came home to leaves turned rusty red and falling off the tree in the front yard. But the colors are still bright and not all the leaves have fallen yet. Tomorrow is supposed to be bright and clear and the leaves will be glorious in that light on the mountain and beside the lake.

I like to spend most of the day reading and I’ve been debating what book I want to read tomorrow while I’m there. So many to choose from! It has taken me awhile to choose what I was going to read in the past. Since I have so many titles to choose from, it tends to take me an hour to pick something if I’m not already in the middle of something. There are a couple of titles I’ve started but I don’t think I’ve been in love with many of them. I started the last book in The Raven Cycle (The Raven King, maybe?) this afternoon but I’ve been listening to those and I like to listen to music or to the quiet of the mountain/lake while I’m there. It’s nice also to listen to a little music or to pause and talk to my mom. I don’t know, it just sort of feels wrong for some reason to put headphones on while we’re there, at least for any significant period of time.

The Raven Cycle is an interesting series and I really want to know what happens, but I don’t know if I actually like the books or the characters. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I’m pretty sure I don’t like the books and yet I can’t stop until I get to the end.

I more to say about this but I can’t hold my eyes open very well at all and I’m going to need to be up fairly early in the morning for a day off to go.
