My Arboretum day trip/Sun. Aug 21, 2011

Today I decided to do something different and that something different took shape in my traveling to Morristown and visiting the Frelinghuysen Arboretum.   When I do something on the spur of the moment I just do it.  I guess I'm just tired of spending too much alone time at home.   The summer is on the way out already and I just haven't enjoyed any real vacations.   My children are out and about and for some reason my circle of friends has just about disappeared too.  So it was time I took the lead in my own life...I saw an ad for weekend happenings and I took a bottle of water, and my carefree spirit and just got into my Chevy and road on down to Morristown to see the  Morris County Park Commission presentation of Medicinal Plants of the Civil War exhibit, which will be ongoing until the end of September, 2011.    May I also add this was a free admission, too.    If I had a date it would have been a nice Sunday afternoon stroll thru the gardens.   But unfortunately...it was just me, myself and I that strolled thru the gardens and wow did we enjoy the day.   Sometimes you just have to get up and get out, even IF you do it alone.   The day was sunny and bright, there were lots of places to relax and enjoy the butterflies, bees (which if you leave them alone they will just go about their business of harvesting the pollen.)  The local squirrels were far to busy and just ignored you too.  I guess there really is no excuse not to enjoy life; because life is all around you, just for the viewing!
