Yay!  The fall solstice  just passed, and that means that begins the countdown on our warm &amp; sunny days. Here are a few things you should do (aka things I&#8217;ve did) before fall is gone and winter is here!<br \/>\nLiving in a city without many natural landscapes to escape to is challenging for me. I don&#8217;t have a car nor do I know how to drive, so though there are many places upstate to go, not being able to drive seventy limits those options. However, I am not easily deterred.  I need nature to maintain my sanity, so I found some cheat-codes to connect with nature if you don&#8217;t have the time, or money or ability to take a trip upstate. I began volunteering at a community garden. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3396\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/2015\/09\/28\/notes-from-the-6-train-gettin-down-w-the-green\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n.jpg\" alt=\"11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-624x624.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11909201_908004029266716_183193300_n-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"3395\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/2015\/09\/28\/notes-from-the-6-train-gettin-down-w-the-green\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n.jpg\" alt=\"11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-624x624.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/blog.fitnyc.edu\/admissions\/files\/2015\/09\/11821945_461629720712406_1175332262_n-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also took a hike to Wave Hill to check out their botanical gardens.
