Look at these idyllic photos. This is the mighty Delaware, with its beautiful lush greenery and birds and bugs living in harmony. This is why I love our town. It’s old, historic, and has bits of natural beauty all over the place.
You’d think we were miles and miles from civilization. In reality, we are a hop, skip and a jump from…..
A Starbucks!
I know this drives some people crazy. Big bad developments killing small, quaint towns etc. I don’t even particularly like Starbucks coffee – I’m more of a Dunkin Donuts kinda gal. But I love the fact that it’s there. I like knowing I can get a ridiculously priced coffee drink with enough caloric intake for my whole day and go see the mighty Delaware and pretend I’m George Washington. What. Like you don’t pretend. Whatever.
I just like my amenities. I love the view, the nature, the majestic beauty of places – but I also love amenities. I need amenities.
You know what makes nature even more enjoyable? A cup of overpriced iced coffee and some bug spray you bought at the corner drugstore.

Amen, sister! When the people who have been trying to convince me to camp finally succeed, they’ll have located a camping ground where a) a certified park ranger will have told me there are no bears, and b) there will be electricity, running water, and at the very least, a continental breakfast.

You know what’s even more enjoyable? Taking a picture of your coffee while you enjoy your SCENIC HIKE and then submitting it for my photo contest.
