These are the last of the photos of our trip (do I hear a groan of relief? Yes, and it came from me) Is there anything worse than being subjected to someone else's vacation pics? Don't answer that. I'll zip through the main bits then get right to the spooky stuff.
So we have made it down to the Boston area, the top pic is a lovely church somewhere on Mass Ave between Lexington (where we stayed for the first two days), Somerset (where Katy lives) and Boston (where... um... Boston is). We drove that road at least a couple dozen times, I swear. In the Boston area we did highbrow stuff like the DeCordova Sculpture Museum, above. We experienced fine dining at the Flatbread/Bowling Lanes in Somerset...
Visited the Walter Gropius house near Concord (snapped this through the window).
And wandered around Beacon Hill. Now that was a beautiful area! Rather hilly for my flatlander legs, though.
More of those sorts of pics are over in my flickr stream if you are keen to see more. But onward to my favorite part! We visited Sleepy Hollow Cemetery last year, and with the trees looking so pretty we just had to make the trip to Concord again... for breakfast at the old Concord Inn but mainly to see this beautiful place...
Is there any place more hauntingly beautiful than an old cemetery in the Autumn? My camera (my iPhone actually) took on a life of its own. So many wonderfully spooky headstones, like this one with a pointing hand...
And this small, enigmatic one...
And of course the famous ones, like Louisa May Alcott.
and of course Henry Thoreau. People leave the most interesting talismans...
One more pic, since its almost Halloween and these are so apropos...
More Halloweenishness for you... I put up the full sequence of The Thirteen Nights of Halloween on my web site, so you can go all the way through to the finale without having to wait until Halloween! Click here.
And I have a confession... the last few weeks, despite the fact that my house is decorated for Halloween, I've been steadily working on Christmas stuff! I can promise you some neat new patterns and other holiday goodies coming up soon!
Cheers,
Jenny
