I Had the Perfect Walk

“When you shall say, "As others do, so will I. I renounce, I am sorry for it, my early visions; I must eat the good of the land, and let learning and romantic expectations go, until a more convenient season." — then dies the man in you;” - Ralph W. Emerson
Every early morning I go outside and walk for a few hours if weather permits, and today was the best weather I could ever hope for.
I went out at 6:20 so it was still night time, practically, and it had been raining so the ground was wet, with many puddles scattered around and the dirt about was just mud. It's December so most of the trees are not green, though there are a few, which is nice (I like variety in trees) but most are either bare or mostly bare, yellows, oranges and reds along with the greens, and lots of dead leaves on the ground.
The neighborhood is both lower-middle middle class and somewhat old, so the houses are more colorful with lots of wood and brick, and some stone, and the concrete is uneven and dark, some parts are kinda gravelly and mossy, lots of trees all over and very few sidewalks, which is aesthetically pleasing to me.
The best part, the part that makes it special, is that is was foggy. I love fog, but I almost never see it. Today I actually walked in it; my first time ever to see fog outside of going to school. And at 6:30 when it's still pretty much nighttime and it's super foggy out with just the Christmas lights and some city lights and signs, it was just beautiful. It looked kinda like the landscape of a gothic horror. It was still pretty dark for the two more hours I did walk, though at the end the sun came out and ruined the fun. <-n->
Honestly, if I could do that all day, I would. Walking in the dark with fog after it had rained. If just that was my Christmas present, I'd be happy.
