Fall Colors

Knitted Flames

Democratic Rally

I went to a rally for the November 2 election (don't forget to vote!) and saw the President!
James Taylor was also there - so awesome.

Square Footage

My last apartment was a 268 square foot studio - I measured. It felt large enough at the time, although I couldn't have people over very easily. Greg's and my new apartment has 2 bedrooms and is 600 square feet - 2.2 times larger! We love it, and so does Billy. He runs from room to room, naps on the bed or hides on top of a suitcase under it, and he loves looking out the windows. It's been a great move for us all.

Autumn

The moon was enormous the other night. This is the Charles River and part of the Boston skyline.

And to the west, the sunset was also an awesome show.
The leaves are changing but this autumn is unlike the previous two. My friend Britt says I'm looking for a pattern where there isn't one. New England seasons aren't the same from one year to the next. Some of the leaves are still green and others have been off the branches for awhile. The colors aren't as vibrant, but I feel like the show isn't over yet.

Here are the pumpkins from the third annual pumpkin carving and cider sipping at work. Mine is second from the right. Greg's is on the far right.

Chittenden, VT

Our friends Logan and Marie are getting married this February. Marie is currently in France, so it was up to Logan to find a place for the wedding. Logan, Greg, and I went to Chittenden, VT, to scout out a place. Because it's further north and at a higher elevation, it was past peak for leaf color, but it was still beautiful. We got to stay for free in a great house on the property - Logan and Marie did end up selecting this place. Here's the view from the balcony of the house we stayed in.
Greg enjoying his morning coffee and our view.


Along the drive from Boston.

San Diego Trip - Sept /Oct 2010

I had a wonderful time in San Diego last week. Greg had to work and couldn't come with me, but we'll be back between Christmas and New Year's. Here are some pictures from my trip:

More of the New Apartment

Above, Greg and Billy are enjoying our new wool blanket, from Massachusetts sheep. We bought the blanket directly from one of the shepherds.

Below is the living room looking into the kitchen. We still have some unpacking to do, and we have to figure out what to do with the bikes...
