Disc golf

As I look into the forecast, much optimism is lost for being outside. I have enjoyed a lot of time outside this summer and fall and it soon looks as if those days are over. This fall has been wonderful, but with the shortened days and decreasing temperatures, outdoor hobbies will become a little more difficult such as disc golf.
It began this summer when I went disc golfing for the first time. I was immediately hooked on the sport and soon became an enthusiast. I then realized how popular it was and discovered that some of my friends and cousins also enjoy disc golfing. Aside from me liking to throw things as hard as I possibly can, disc golfing is fun in that is a laid back sport in which competition is usually limited. It is very fun to go with a group of friends and hang out in the outdoors while throwing discs at the same time.
Whereas not everybody gets the same amount of enjoyment out of throwing frisbees, it can be fun for anyone in that you can socialize the entire time. You don't need to be very good to get out there and play with some friends. It is a relatively cheap sport in that the only thing needed is a disc. Fall is obviously drawing near end, but I will definitely be looking forward to spring!

Holiday Season

As I have been enjoying this splendid November weather, it's easy to lose track of time. Football is now over and there is time during the day to get out and enjoy the weather. School seems to go by quicker and quicker. Days seem to trickle by now that the sun sets at 5 p.m.
It has now hit me that Thanksgiving is a mere 2 and a half weeks away. This is also a joyous time of year for me in that my kin all get together and have a big celebration. We usually spend a few days in another state while appreciating the hospitality of my aunt and uncle. We have a big feast for dinner in which we are reminded of how fortunate we are to be able to have a celebration with lots of food.
Even though the days will feel short and the weather will gradually make a turn for the worse, I am still optimistic for the times ahead. We are slowly entering the holiday season and I think it's a little difficult to tell right now with the wonderful weather we have had. Despite the dreadful weather we all know is coming, good times are on the way and that is always something to dwell on.
