Early each morning, I step out my front door, and head to a nearby trail for some pre-work exercise. It’s one of the great things about my new house – the proximity to a number of great hiking trails. But, since my neighborhood borders a popular commuting route, a section of my morning walk is generally a bit noisy. (Nothing that cranking the volume on my iPod can’t handle!)
But, this particular morning, it was calm and quiet. The road has been closed in preparation for this weekend’s Pumpkin Festival. I’ve never really lived in a suburban neighborhood, so little local fairs right in my own backyard, a mere short walk away, are a new thing for me. Although my curiosity will have to wait to be allayed, since I won’t be able to participate in the opening festivities on Saturday.
Nope, my Saturday will be bustling with a cornucopia of homeowner activities. The new bed is getting delivered first thing, and my bedroom décor will be that much closer to complete. Then, it’s off to the stone yard to pick out bathroom countertops with my contractor. And I think for the trip to Lowe’s to pick out faucets, I’ll be flying solo.
But Sunday, I’m definitely going to the fair. Taking a break from decorating and renovating, and eating high-calorie, high-fun fair food. Ooh, I hope they have funnel cake…
