Out and About

This fall is flying by. Jason's parents were here for just over a week and we did a couple of excursions with them, including Plymouth and Boston. That's a picture of us in front of the Mayflower II:



We also went to visit Jason's cousin Christy at Wellesley to watch the Widows perform their fall teaser. It was really a lovely campus and we all enjoyed both the concert and the visit.


Finally, Nora and I have been wandering about the area, exploring while Jason is working. We try to make it to the library storytimes, and get out and about even if it's just in the back yard. I've also been cooking up a storm: cupcakes, trying new bread recipes, and returning to old favorites. Tonight is pizza night, but Nora has been begging for Mexican night. I attempted to satisfy this need with potato kale enchiladas, which she found lacking (Jason and I loved them), so we are going to have to find a Mexican restaurant. We haven't had much luck in that department so far, but we did spy a possibility that we need to check out soon. Let's hope for the best.

This final picture is from Skinner State Park and it was one of the most glorious days this fall - in the upper 70's and exceptionally sunny. The light was really amazing that day. Nora was immersed in finding more leaves to drag home. I was just enjoying the day:

Yes, we went to see the Mayflower on Columbus Day...

I love how thick the forests are between towns. The towns are well-treed like Little Rock, now that I think about it.

The town participated in Halloween in just the right ways. Nora got to pet a ferret!

I'm disappointed to see that no one was sporting a very tall hat and quite a lot of black clothing.
