Sunday in Pictures

I live in the great state of New Hampshire and yes we were hit with the Halloween Storm. Luckily I still had power unlike almost 400,000 others in the state, but I did not have internet access until today.

So I thought I would show you some pictures of Snow in October for those people to live in decidely warmer climates. Nashua received 8-10 inches, not terrible by nor-east standards but terrible when leaves are still on the trees.





The pool roof.

One of many downed branches, actually this is half the tree. I really should not have been standing under it to take the photo.

My apartment is the second row. The two middles ones are my living room, as you can see I hadn't closed the storm windows yet.

More downed trees...

Sunday in Pictures - Two Days Late

I am a little behind in blogging but the goods news is that I am caught up in eating. I seem to be in a binge free, high exercise zone this week. This Sunday I went to the Great Bay Discovery Center and Estuary. They are all about preserving the marshes and bay that dumps into the Atlantic Ocean. It provides an important food source for Osprey, Owls, Blue Heron and even Bald Eagles. None of which I actually got to see, but that's OK. Here are some photos.

A photo of the bay during low tide.

This is Actually in the parking lot. I just love these little bushes they grow wild all over NH and early in the fall season you actually see each leaf get striped like a rainbow. The tips are Green the a bit further up it goes yellow, then orange, then red. This late in the season has almost no green.


This is a wigwam, Native Americans in New England didn't live in teepees. Wigwams use flexible branches to form an igloo shape then covered in birch bark or straw.

The path is entirely wood because the water rise and recedes in the marshes, and wetlands with the tides.

At the very beginning of the path they have a some "boats" for the kids to play on. This is a replica of a lobster boat, but mostly I love the name. The Nerr Miss -

Somehow seems to sum up my life.

So it is a very rainy Sunday. The kind of day where staying curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea, and soft music in the background makes me HAPPY!


But I try to get a little activity everyday and I am sick of looking at the inside of a gym because it has been raining a good portion of the week. Luckily there was a break in the rain, and I got out and walked around. I love Sundays because many of the shops are closed and on rainy Sunday's very few people are out and about.

The Amsterdam - the perfect place to go for a pint during Octoberfest, and the upcoming Fall Feast Week. Sorry, This Amsterdam doesn't sell Herbal Supplements, but the waitstaff make you feel at home.

The Crosby bakery is an institution in Nashua, we are talking generations. They don't have a website or a facebook page, and they don't advertise. It is all by word of mouth. Many people stop here for a sandwich because the bread is so fresh. The favorites of most tend to be the hermit cookies, and homemade donuts. I come here once in great while when I want a calorie splurge too.

My favorite reason to live in the Clocktower in Nashua, NH. I am less than a block from the cobbler. He has repaired many of my heels. He will also buy any left over Euros because he travels to Italy every April.

Ever hear of Truck Nuts? In the parking lot of a grocery store I spotted this...




Truck Falsies, for when your jeep needs that femine touch.

As I mentioned in my first post I live in Nashua, NH. It is small city that offer the perfect mix of Boston and Rural country attitude. Today in Memory of those fallen on 9/11 the streets were lined with flags.

10 years I ago I was living in Cambridge, MA and on that day I was at UMass, Boston. In the Fitness center. I stop exericising I couldn't believe what I was seeing on TV, they had stopped playing music and turned on the TV's volume. It was horrific, and heart breaking, but for me that wasn't the worst part.

UMass is right on the water and you constantly hear the the noise of jets coming in for a landing, but later that day I was staring out at the water beautiful calm and breezy, and absolute silence in the air. All I could think was "How can such peace come from such tragedy?"
