Megan Geers- Drive to NJ

Over the break I went with my family to visit my cousins in New Jersey. This has been a family tradition for years, every thanksgiving we make the trip up. And usually I am not awake for most of the ride just because cars kind of lull me after awile. Instead I noticed things I hadn't this time, it's almost like a drive through a trail. There are all sorts of trees and shrubery along the road. The groupings of trees ranged from yellow, orange, red and deep purple! I saw the purple trees grouped together in the middle of an obviously cut down forest. It looked like a sign of hope in a world full of chaos. I found myself drawn to see what the trees would look like next as opposed to just seeing them wiz past and just get lulled to sleep. I guess I'm making progress...
