fall has arrived:

and with it, some nice foliage along with the rain. it’s been very cold and wet but very fresh and dramatic. while we don’t get the same type of foliage as new england, a couple of trees like the one in the photo above (near my apartment) stand out from all the grey.

on another note, i finally figured out how to use the macro setting on my camera:

that’s remnants of a scrambled egg with cheese and onions from sunday’s breakfast. B makes a good scramble, that’s for sure.

as we didn’t have much of a summer, i’m trying to soak up all the colorful foliage and moments of sun i can find. it’s been cold around our apartment so we turned on the heat for the first time this past weekend (hearts have been broken!). it’s a full two weeks before we turned on the heat last autumn. normally i don’t mind the rain and grey but this year it’s wearing thin. wet and grey is one thing, but a high of 55 on the last day of september? spare me. unfortunately our apartment is poorly insulated; last winter we put plastic over the windows to keep out the drafts. we only took down that plastic four short months ago. we’ve decided this is a “plastic in the windows eight months out of the year” kind of place. what a drag!
