I always tell people that I don't know why I live in this state. I despise the cold of Winter and the hot humidity of Summer. The two reasons, I guess, I love living here, are the Autumns and the Springs. Wayne and I have been gone for the past two weeks with our camper. We drove to Cambridge Maryland, where my sister lives and then drove north to Copake, New York. No reason to go to NY. We just wanted to go north, where it was cooler, than south where it was still too warm. Of course we loved New York state. We hadn't been there before and both of us absolutely loved it!. This is the time of year to watch the hillsides change into beautiful contrasting colors. There really is no way to duplicate this in anything outside of a photo, and even that won't reveal the textures and dimensions that your eyes catch in real life. It was a beautiful drive and a vacation much needed. This was our first trip out in our camper that we bought a couple of months ago. Camping has never been my thing, but now, it seems so relaxing. I think it may have something to do with my age. The new camper is very comfortable and even better, once we figured everything out. We finally had hot water two days before we got back home. Thank goodness for KOA campground showers! We would still like to do one or two more trips up north before the colors are gone. They just don't last long enough.
