summertime in our new hometown

The Sunday after Flag Day Ian and I were meandering home and bumped into the Brookline Flag Day celebration carnival, which provided us the perfect opportunity to sample fried dough (the Bostonian equivalent of funnel cakes) and take fun photos.

As much as downtown Boston has to offer, I most enjoy our neighborhood. Kids bounce through park fountains, rainbow snow cones sparkle on a hot summer day, locally-owned shops and restaurants beckon patrons in from the busy sidewalk, a flashing marquee announces showtimes for classic films, bicyclists ring cheerful bells as they pass along the street, neighbors wave as they water their gardens. In these moments, it feels like we've never left home.
