I love fall in New England, with its frosty mornings, bright blue skies and air so crisp and clean it permeates with earth's raw scent. Leaves, once green, turn into reds, oranges and golds so bright, you'd swear trees and bushes were on fire at every turn. Beautiful, or not, they're a promise that winter stretches its long, spindly fingers into October.
Was going through my iPhone and came across some pictures that made me smile, because they represent so much of what I love about New England, from its quirky language, distinctive architecture, to its passionate sports fans.
Would like to share some of what's made me smile with you ...

Interesting cookie truck, wouldn't you say? Bostonians (my husband, especially!) have a distinctive manner of speech. They say "cah," instead of "car," and "dawg," instead of "dog."
I guess the Cookie Monstah should come as no surprise.

| Harvard Book Store, Harvard Square, MA |
Harvard Bookstore is a dangerous place to visit. I go solely for the remainders tables that are loaded with an unbelievable selection of hard cover books at a fraction of their original cost. It's amongst the piles of books at these tables that I discovered Isabel Allende, Julia Alvarez and Laura Restrepo.

I wish I could capture the true colors of these leaves. Doesn't the tree look like it's on fire?

| Typical New England home. |
If I were a little shorter (and I'm short), would love to live in one of these typical 1800s New England homes. I wonder if people were shorter back then, or if they had to stoop to get around their homes. What a pain.

And this, friends, is what Halloween looks like. :-)
Wonderful post, I love the pictures and definitely got the nice feeling of fall. Even the cemetery looks like a place were you want to have a picnic (no disrespect). Thank you for sharing Ezzy. I wish I could go to that book store with you and remember the feeling of a book in my hands as oppossed to a kindle.
ReplyDeleteWow, great photos and post. You really made me want to visit.
ReplyDeleteThe changes of the season is gorgeous.
Agree... Beautiful photos... the pictures says everything.. You did enjoyed your trip.. :D
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love the cemetery pic, it does remind me of Halloween...it is so pretty with all the leaves on the ground. The Cookie Monstah truck make me laugh. I use to date a guy back in the day from Boston and loved to listen to him talk. Between his accent and mine, we were laughing constantly.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just love our New England!
