New England in Autumn

Dude, I ♥ both Connecticut and Massachusetts so much. Seriously.

And what's even better? There's this town in Massachusetts called Northampton which is like a town full of hippie liberal artist freaks and I love it so hard and one of the first things we saw was a store flying LOTS of rainbow flags with a dummy in the window wearing a sash that said "Anti-sex league" with a sign that said "Big Brother Is Watching You".

The Boy informed me that there are a lot of lesbians in Northampton. *swoons*.

If I could live there, I would.

I'll get around to posting pictures of the leaves (we went leaf peeping yesterday) and of the apple picking that we did today. Both were as fun and beautiful as I thought they'd be.

Fortunately, I don't have to return to gloomy ol' New York City until tomorrow evening and tonight: *mashed potatoes*.

This is why autumn is my favorite time of year and this year, the added bonus of not having to worry about school. It's weird, but when your life doesn't revolve around school and classes and semesters and graduation dates, you start to appreciate the seasons more.

*sigh*

This is my happy place.

Especially because Andrew's mom got a new dog (Finn) and there's cats all over the place and *GUH* how much did I miss critters? This much.

Amen!

(Also, Northampton has Smith, where th'Elizabeth (and also Ann M. Martin and various other people!) went to school.

Ooh, even more to love about the place. I just sorta figured it was my kind of town when the slogan on the parking garage sign said: Northampton - Where the coffee is strong and so are the women.
