The 52 Project, photo 16/52: Beany and Bear: Our resident scientist, Beany was hard at work discovering different kids of rocks near the water when I took this photo. Of course, just as she is in most photos I take of her, she’s been caught mid-sentence, telling us, “Well, I see that there are lots…

It snowed, you guys! And these kids are taking it like old pros. Here’s 3/52:
Fall on Walden Pond
Fall on Walden Pond is pretty much magical. We made the 20-minute trek to Walden Pond this weekend as a quick getaway to see the changing leaves, but we were more than pleasantly surprised by what we found. The weather was perfect — crisp without being cold — and the pond sparkled in the sunshine. “Mermaids, Mommy!” Beany squealed as soon as the water came…
Fall Means Apple Picking
I’m happy to report that fall has finally arrived in New England. It seems like it’s taken longer this year, and the trees — though still very green — are starting to show signs of the changing season. It’s cool enough now to keep the windows open most of the day, which always sends a…

Photo 37/52: Apple picking!
It’s officially fall in New England! Actually, I guess it’s officially fall everywhere in the northern hemisphere, but I must say that of all the places I’ve lived, fall around here feels particularly amazing and autumny. The air chills a littler sooner, the leaves change a little faster and sweaters can soon be unpacked. Woo hoo! It’s the…
Fall in New England: Apples, waffles and a hooray for new seasons
I’m sitting here at my desk with a 50-degree breeze coming through the window and feeling almost too chilly to be comfortable. It’s wonderful! It seems fall comes much earlier in New England, and I’m so, so happy for it. This transition to Boston has been tougher on me than I expected. It’s busy. It’s…
