I am starting to think 🤔 I took the wrong weekend to go to Central New York but I don’t know. It was a good weekend to go out and enjoy the colors while they are still left 🍂, they are rapidly fading now as we head closer to November. I don’t have any plans now until mid November and with more days being back in the office 🏢 and less remote work 💻, it gets harder to take long weekends – plus I’m running low on vacation time. ⏳
