Looking forward to Winter

I have been thinking about the coming winter lately

It would be better to just enjoy the summer we have been having

but I watch the plants

I see Summer has faded

The Fall masquerading as Summer

I  dream of futures past

and plans must be made!

My mind drifts to the Fall and Winter swells that will arrive,

precisely in their time.

My goal is the classic "get away from it all"

maybe tramp around a bit in search of a pristine peak.

I usually can't get away for a long spell

but a two day trip is not out of the question.

Maybe just a nice long walk would be sufficient to get me away from the road and away from the worst of the crowds.
