I love Halloween, always have always will. Always been more than candy and costumes for me. As someone who grew up New England, USA and loves fall, where we seem to have a link to the seasons that cannot be denied, this day is the line between fall and winter. The earth outside my window…

just some lions
Have been a terrible blogger but just know…. this can only mean greatness is coming (that’s what THEY say, whoever THEY are). In the meantime, here’s a lion video to fill this space. Happy almost 2012 friends! Hope you’re all headed or coming back from somewhere great. (thanks to the BBC)
Just for fun…
Just because I love this kind of wacky travel, no guidebook needed – just lots of maps, luck and pluck – via @theAdventurists http://www.mongolrally.comĀ “10,000 miles in a tiny car from Europe to Mongolia. Travelling is for sissies, come and get stuck in a desert on the Mongol Rally 2012.”
Thanksgiving Sunsets

2011: New England, apples and more apples
Fall has arrived in these green hills – the leaves are turning and even though the days lately have been global warming humid, it would never really feel like summer to a local. The mellow golden sunsets of August have absolutely given way to cold nights and I have been watching the twilight creeping earlier…
beginning at the beginning
When I was eight, my family spent a month and a 1/2 in France and England. It was the first international flight I could remember, drank my first orangina, learned my first French word – which was STOP (aggressive foreign speaking children + pool ) and slept in an overnight train berth. My mother kept…
