Saturday was a Fall dream. A perfect New England Fall dream. Perfect weather (sunny, 68 degrees), perfect company (Dan...just Dan), perfect day (laid out below -- with pictures!).
First up, Russell Orchards, where we spent a few lazy hours wandering through the orchards, picking apples, eating apples, drinking cider, and relishing in some good old fashioned Fall fun.
Then we moved onto Gloucester, MA, which is an adorable little fishing town (as seen in The Perfect Storm and Mermaids) where we poked around a few stores & artists' studios, then grabbed lunch.
And then onto Rockport, MA, a town I immediately fell in love with for all of it's seaside charm and twinkle lights. Beautiful.
And then back home by 8:00 for a cozy night in and some take-out
(I love how close together everything is in New England -- daytrips!)
New York was always a dream. I never thought it was something I could or would actually do, but it was fun to think about. And then life took some unexpected turns and I found myself free and single and brave (delirious?) enough to do something crazy. The only thing that made sense was to pack up and leave. And follow The Dream. So here I am, living the dream, breathing in New York City air every day, loving every minute of it (for the most part). These are my musings on Life in The City. *Update: And then I got married. And moved to Boston. Then back to New York. And had a baby. Then a brain tumor diagnosis followed by brain surgery. Then moved to Florida. Whoa! I know. It's a lot. Follow me as I navigate this new, crazy beautiful life in the sunshine state, trying to find balance with my home life, maintaining good health holistically, making music and making art....all while still dreaming of that favorite city of mine (NY).
