Autumn in New England

Hello world!  The last time I updated this blog was back in early spring...around Easter.  Yikes!  How did half a year fly by so quickly?  Since then, it's been getting cooler and the leaves are turning color.

6 months.  A lot has changed.  From being "temporary" residents of Massachusetts and living in the quintessential New England town...we've now moved into the inner-city Boston. We exchanged our Texas license plates that we held on for as long as we could...for Massachusetts ones. It was a bittersweet day...as we'll always be Texans at heart. We now live next door to a laundry-mat and a fast food Chinese take-out restaurant that opens till 1AM.  Instead of hearing crickets chirp at night, we now hear police sirens whizzing by.  (So do not let the above peaceful photos deceive you...)  

The pictures above were taken in New Hampshire this past weekend, during a church retreat.  New Hampshire is on fire with fall foliage right now! It's only 2 hours north of us, but the color differences were breathtaking. We were just blessed to be there at the right time and right place. It puts Boston to shame.  Right now, down our street, there are a few random orange trees, a few dead trees, and some random green ones that looks like it doesn't belong.

I need to do another post to catch this blog up to speed with what's going on with our lives.  But since it's already past midnight... I must wait for another day to do so.

Until then, enjoy the crisp autumn season.  Enjoy the pumpkins and pumpkin pies...
