In a Melistocratic World…

I used to always say that summer was my favorite season, but as I get older I think I am leaning towards fall for sure. Since we are living in D.C this fall, I have come to appreciate the season so much more because it’s taking FOREVER to get here. September was almost unbearably hot and humid here, and we were envious hearing from our friends at home in Boston who said there was a good chill in the air weeks ago.

This weekend is supposed to feel like fall and I am so excited, especially since the Sox will be playing in the World Series! There are so many Red Sox fans here in the D.C. area. It’s comforting, and helps the home-sickness somewhat to be amongst other fans. One of the bars around the corner is actually a Red Sox bar and they play all of the games. We have spent a good share of our time there in the past 6 weeks.

I’ve got some good plans for this coming weekend, the last one in October. There’s a strong possibility that pumpkin and apple picking will be going on, as well as watching Sox games, cooking some stews, drinking Pumpkin beer (thanks, Mom T!) and enjoying my time with B before he heads off for a conference in Texas.

I’m crossing my fingers that our D.C. fall can last through to December.
