As Halloweekend rolled around I took a break from busy life at school to travel over to the Casavant trail. I was excited to get to a place where I knew I was going to get time to reconnect and remind myself what I’m doing here at UVM. I traveled down the slightly steep trail to a place right in the middle of my site and sat. The whole fifteen minutes passed quickly, I feel quickly into a sort of meditation as the wind rustled the leaves and the sounds of cars passing faded into the background. It was a really grounding experience to get away from everything and just buckle into nature.
Most of the changes I witnessed fall in line with what to expect from the fall season rolling in. The colors of leaves turning into bright yellows, and reds. Some leaves have already turned brown and crispy, and some have already fallen to the ground, creating a cover of dead crunchy leaves.
