* On My Day Off *

I rarely have full days off from work, so I try to make the most of the ones I have. Plus, with this crazy warm weather for New England, it seems the perfect time to go for bike rides by the ocean.

I think about the things I'll miss once I move out west, and freezing cold bike rides by the atlantic ocean are oddly one of them. Although once I take really warm bike rides by the pacific ocean, I might get over it pretty quickly.

* October in NH *

After living in New York City for 6 years and Boston for 2 years, living back in New Hampshire is alarmingly different. There are good and bad things about both kinds of places when you live there long term. Without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable parts of New Hampshire is driving down adorable back roads in the middle of peak leaf-turning season, October.

Today is November 1, and there are already noticeably less leaves on the trees. I took some pictures of some great little spots. Unfortunately, nothing compares to the feeling you get seeing it all in person. New England is certainly a beautiful place. If you can, come experience the fall here for yourself.

(some of these images I took while driving...not the smartest idea in the world!)
